Subject: [PATCH] mm/kasan: Fix null pointer dereference warning in qlink_to_cache()

The function virt_to_slab() declared in slab.h can return NULL if the
address does not belong to a slab. This case is not handled in the
function qlink_to_cache() in the file quarantine.c, which can cause a
NULL pointer dereference in "virt_to_slab(qlink)->slab_cache". 
This issue was discovered by fanalyzer (my gcc version: 12.1.1 20220507)
