There is no possibility for memmap to be NULL in the current codebase.
This check was added in commit 95a4774d055c ("memory-hotplug: update
mce_bad_pages when removing the memory") where memmap was originally
inited to NULL, and only conditionally given a value.
The code that could have passed a NULL has been removed by commit
ba72b4c8cf60 ("mm/sparsemem: support sub-section hotplug"), so there is no
longer a possibility that memmap can be NULL.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
