Subject: [PATCH] proc: fix NULL dereference when reading /proc/<pid>/auxv

Reading auxv of any kernel thread results in NULL pointer dereferencing in
auxv_read() where mm can be NULL or even error code. Fix that by testing mm
with IS_ERR_OR_NULL() helper. This is also the original behavior changed by
recent commit c5317167854e ("proc: switch auxv to use of __mem_open()").
