mm: fix null pointer dereference in wait_iff_congested()

An unintended consequence of commit 4ae0a48b5efc ("mm: modify
pgdat_balanced() so that it also handles order-0") is that
wait_iff_congested() can now be called with NULL 'struct zone *'
producing kernel oops like this:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
  IP: [<ffffffff811542d9>] wait_iff_congested+0x59/0x140

This trivial patch fixes it.
