H A Dbase.cdiff 05f564849d49499ced97913a0914b5950577d07d Mon Nov 26 18:29:42 CST 2012 Stanislav Kinsbursky <skinsbursky@parallels.com> proc: check vma->vm_file before dereferencing

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.
