H A Dmmap.cdcd4a049 Tue Jan 06 16:40:31 CST 2009 Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> mm: check for no mmaps in exit_mmap()

When dup_mmap() ooms we can end up with mm->mmap == NULL. The error
path does mmput() and unmap_vmas() gets a NULL vma which it
dereferences.

In exit_mmap() there is nothing to do at all for this case, we can
cancel the callpath right there.
