The vmf->page can be NULL when the wp_page_reuse() is invoked by
wp_pfn_shared(), it will cause the following panic:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000008
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode

To fix it, this patch performs a NULL pointer check before dereferencing
the vmf->page.
