Subject: [PATCH 4.14 72/77] mm/vmalloc.c: dont dereference possible NULL pointer in __vunmap()

From: Liviu Dudau <liviu@...au.co.uk>

commit 6ade20327dbb808882888ed8ccded71e93067cf9 upstream.

find_vmap_area() can return a NULL pointer and we're going to
dereference it without checking it first.  Use the existing
find_vm_area() function which does exactly what we want and checks for
the NULL pointer.
