The recent addition of "pofs" (pages or folios) handling to gup has a
flaw: it assumes that unpin_user_pages() handles NULL pages in the
pages** array. That's not the case, as I discovered when I ran on a new
configuration on my test machine.

Fix this by skipping NULL pages in unpin_user_pages(), just like
unpin_folios() already does.

Details: when booting on x86 with "numa=fake=2 movablecore=4G" on Linux
6.12, and running this:

    tools/testing/selftests/mm/gup_longterm

...I get the following crash:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008

Hi,

I got a nasty shock when I tried out a new test machine setup last
night--I wish I'd noticed the problem earlier! But anyway, this should
make it all better...

I've asked Greg K-H to hold off on including commit 94efde1d1539
("mm/gup: avoid an unnecessary allocation call for FOLL_LONGTERM cases")
in linux-stable (6.11.y), but if this fix-to-the-fix looks good, then
maybe both fixes can ultimately end up in stable.

thanks,
John Hubbard

I don't particularly enjoy returning NULL here, if we don't teach the 
other users of that function about that possibility. There are two other 
users.

Also: we are not setting "ntails" to 1. I think the callers uses that as 
"nr" to advance npages. So the caller has to make sure to set "nr = 1" 
in case it sees "NULL".

Alternatively ...

... handle it here

if (!pages[i]) {
	nr = 1;
	continue;
}

No strong opinion. But I think we should either update all callers to 
deal with returning NULL from this function, and set "nr = 1".

Yes, that makes sense. I'll send a v2 shortly with one or the other
approach implemented. I appreciate the review feedback as always!
