PATCH 1/1 s390/mm: Check for valid vma before zapping in gmap_discard

From: Janosch Frank <[email protected]>

Userspace could have munmapped the area before doing unmapping from the gmap. This would leave us with a valid vmaddr, but an invalid vma from which we would try to zap memory.

Let's check before using the vma.

Please always include the upstream git commit id so that I have a clue as to what it is when doing the backport.

Will do next time, or rather next time we won't forget to CC stable :-)
