Subject: [2.6 patch] kprobe_exceptions_notify(): fix NULL dereference

This patch fixes later NULL dereferences spotted by the Coverity 
checker.

Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@...nel.org>

BTW: The avr32 and s390 versions of kprobe_exceptions_notify() are
     not touched since they don't contain this check.
