The recently added check to figure out if a fault happened on gmap ASCE
dereferences the gmap pointer in lowcore without checking that it is not
NULL. For all non-KVM processes the pointer is NULL, so that some value
from lowcore will be read. With the current layouts of struct gmap and
struct lowcore the read value (aka ASCE) is zero, so that this doesn't lead
to any observable bug; at least currently.
Fix this by adding the missing NULL pointer check.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
