Check for NULL when validating addresses

Browse source 
This is rather on the obvious side.

While doing strace on an executable using libunwind, I noticed a
lot of:

  msync(0, 1, MS_SYNC) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)

Since we know that the first page isn't mapped (or at least doesn't
contain the data we are looking for), we can eliminate all such
msync calls.

Tested on Linux/x86_64 with no regressions.
