Rick Lindsley f39356261c powerpc/book3s/64: check for NULL pointer in pgd_alloc() 
When the memset code was added to pgd_alloc(), it failed to consider
that kmem_cache_alloc() can return NULL. It's uncommon, but not
impossible under heavy memory contention. Example oops:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000000a4000
  Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
