I see you Cc:ed stable@ on the patch, should we also add 

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org

here explicitly so it gets picked up by various stable backporting
scritps? I guess Wei can do it when picking the patch to the queue...

In theory, synic_message_page for all present CPUs is permanently
assigned in hv_synic_alloc() and we fail the whole thing if any of these
allocations fail so page_addr == NULL is likely impossible today
but there's certainly no harm in having this extra check here, this is
not a hotpath.
