Prevent an oops in vmalloc_user()
If an attempt to allocate memory with vmalloc_user() fails, the result
will be an oops when it tries to tweak the flags in the (non-existent)
VMA. One could argue that __find_vm_area() should not return a random
pointer on failure, but vmalloc_user() requires a check regardless.
Yes, I already posted a patch for that, and other problem as well.
