The return value of find_vm_area() needs a NULL check here;
is_vmalloc_addr(addr) just checks that `addr` is within the vmalloc VA
range, and doesn't guarantee that there is a vmap_area associated with
that `addr`.

Without the NULL-check, we'll blow up on the `va->addr` dereference and
will fail to make the report, which would be unfortunate.

Thanks,
Mark.
