slub: Do not dereference NULL pointer in node_match
The variables accessed in slab_alloc are volatile and therefore the page pointer passed to node_match can be NULL. The processing of data in slab_alloc is tentative until either the cmpxhchg succeeds or the __slab_alloc slowpath is invoked. Both are able to perform the same allocation from the freelist. Check for the NULL pointer in node_match. A false positive will lead to a retry of the loop in __slab_alloc.
