Subject: [PATCH linux-next] mm/folio-compat: fix potential NULL pointer access 

From: xu xin <xu.xin16@....com.cn>

The pointer 'folio' might be NULL, but the structure it points to is accessed.
Accordingly, we add a check of NULL pointer by 'if (!folio)'.
Secondly, there is no need to check if folio is pointer or value with 'xa_is_value(folio)' 
because folio is alwayse pointer.
