Subject: [PATCH] Modify the check condition

From: Yang Guang <yang.guang5@....com.cn>

The vma may be NULL, and accessing the member of vma like "vma->vm_start"
in calling follow_phys may occur segmentation fault.
So it should check vma at beginning. If vma is null, it will return. And
the if condition won't execute "vm->vm_flags".
