Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm,page_owner: Check for null stack_record before bumping its refcount

Although the retrieval of the stack_records for {dummy,failure}_handle
happen when page_owner gets initialized, there seems to be some situations
where stackdepot space has been already depleted by then, so we get
0-handles which make stack_records being NULL for those cases.

Be careful to 1) only bump stack_records refcount and 2) only access
stack_record fields if we actually have a non-null stack_record between
hands.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202403051032.e2f865a-lkp@intel.com
Fixes: 4bedfb314bdd ("mm,page_owner: implement the tracking of the stacks count")
