Is it possible that the pfrag->page is also NULL, which may cause
mptcp_frag_can_collapse_to() to return true?

I just found out that the 'size' is not set to zero when return
NULL for the implementation of probe API for the current version.
Perhaps it makes more sense to expect the API caller to make sure
the the returned 'page' not being NULL before using the 'offset',
'size' and 'va', like below:

df && page && page == df->page
