The stable_tree_search() maybe return -EBUSY if the stable node's page
is being migrated or nullptr, we need to check kfolio with
IS_ERR_OR_NULL() before dereference it.

To mitigate this, add IS_ERR_OR_NULL check for stable_tree_search().

Fixes: 15605244fdce ("ksm: convert cmp_and_merge_page() to use a folio")

Argh.  I doidn't notice this when it came through.  Andrew already
folded it in, but it's utter garbage.  We don't dereference folio.
NAK.

Ah, &kfolio->page indeed doesn't de-reference. I was blindly assuming 
someone actually ran into an issue here.

Thanks for double-checking ...
