 is NULL


Ingo,

I wrote a test that triggers the bug, and tested this patch which seems
to fix it as well.

    tracing: Don't call page_to_pfn() if page is NULL
    
    When allocating memory fails, page is NULL. page_to_pfn() will
    cause the kernel panicked if we don't use sparsemem vmemmap.
