A sparc64 allmodconfig build with LLVM fails in vmalloc_to_page():

  mm/vmalloc.c: error: performing pointer arithmetic on a null pointer
  has undefined behavior [-Werror,-Wnull-pointer-arithmetic]

sparc64 defines p4d_page() as NULL, on the assumption that it is only
used by stubbed out hugetlb gup code. Generic code now uses it in
vmalloc_to_page(), ptdump and KASAN. In vmalloc_to_page() the NULL is
used in pointer arithmetic, which clang diagnoses even though the
branch is unreachable on sparc64.

Define p4d_page() as a NULL function to silence clang's warning on an
unreachable branch. sparc64 has no p4d leaf mappings, so there is no
functional change.
