[PATCH 4/5] riscv: mm: Fix NULL dereferences in napot hugetlb functions

huge_pte_offset() can return NULL when any level of the page table walk
encounters a non-present entry. Both huge_ptep_set_access_flags() and
huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() re-derive ptep via huge_pte_offset() in the
napot path but use the result without a NULL check, leading to NULL
pointer dereferences in get_clear_contig_flush() and set_pte_at().

Add NULL checks after huge_pte_offset() in both functions.
