[PATCH] mm/gup: fix NULL pointer dereference in fixup_user_fault()

[Nguyen Duy Nhat Anh]

In fixup_user_fault(), the 'unlocked' parameter is checked for NULL
early on, allowing callers to pass NULL if they do not track whether the
mmap lock was dropped.

However, if handle_mm_fault() returns VM_FAULT_COMPLETED, line 1597
dereferences 'unlocked' directly (*unlocked = true) without checking
if it is NULL. Callers like s390's pci_mmio.c pass NULL for 'unlocked',
leading to a kernel NULL pointer dereference when VM_FAULT_COMPLETED
occurs.

Fix this by checking if 'unlocked' is non-NULL before assigning to it.
