Subject: [PATCH] mm/memblock.c: fix NULL dereference error
It causes NULL dereference error and failure to get type_a->regions[0]
info if parameter type_b of __next_mem_range_rev() == NULL
Fix this by checking before dereferring and initializing idx_b to 0
The approach is tested by dumping all types of region via
__memblock_dump_all() and __next_mem_range_rev() fixed to UART
separately the result is okay after checking the logs.
