Subject: [PATCH 3.14 018/122] zram: avoid kunmap_atomic() of a NULL pointer

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Weijie Yang <weijie.yang@...sung.com>

commit c406515239376fc93a30d5d03192182160cbd3fb upstream.

zram could kunmap_atomic() a NULL pointer in a rare situation: a zram
page becomes a full-zeroed page after a partial write io.  The current
code doesn't handle this case and performs kunmap_atomic() on a NULL
pointer, which panics the kernel.

This patch fixes this issue.
