commit b05addf6f0596edb1f82ab4059438c7ef2d2686d upstream.

Calling __kho_unpreserve() on a pair of (pfn, end_pfn) that wasn't
preserved is a bug.  Currently, if that is done, the physxa or bits can be
NULL.  This results in a soft lockup since a NULL physxa or bits results
in redoing the loop without ever making any progress.

Return when physxa or bits are not found, but WARN first to loudly
indicate invalid behaviour.
