Add a NULL check on the return value of swp_swap_info in __swap_duplicate
to prevent crashes caused by NULL pointer dereference.

The reason why swp_swap_info() returns NULL is unclear; it may be due to
CPU cache issues or DDR bit flips. The probability of this issue is very
small, and the stack info we encountered is as follows:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address

Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops: Fatal exception
SMP: stopping secondary CPUs

The patch seems to only provide a workaround, but there are no more
effective software solutions to handle the bit flips problem. This path
will change the issue from a system crash to a process exception, thereby
reducing the impact on the entire machine.
