Commit 7b540d0646ce ("proc_map_files_readdir(): don't bother with grabbing files") switched proc_map_files_readdir() to use @f_mode directly instead of grabbing @file reference, but same time the test for @vm_file presence was lost leading to nil dereference. The patch brings the test back.
The all proc_map_files feature is CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE wrapped (which is set to 'n' by default) so the bug doesn't affect regular kernels.
The regression is 3.7-rc1 only as far as I can tell.
