numa, sched, mm: Fix NULL-ptr deref

Dan reported that there's a possible NULL pointer deref in this logic,
fix that. Further fix it to avoid a possible inf. loop (completely
unlikely in the case no vma is migratable). Also don't endlessly loop
on large length, simply truncate at the end of the address-space and
restart on the next go.
