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. Fix that by checking for NULL mm
and bailing out early. This is also the original behavior changed by
recent commit c5317167854e ("proc: switch auxv to use of __mem_open()").
