algif_skcipher does a similar check in skcipher_pull_sgl:

...
                        if (!sg_page(sg + i))
                                continue;
...
                        if (put)
                                put_page(sg_page(sg + i));
                        sg_assign_page(sg + i, NULL);
...


Ciao
