3.5.7.2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "David S. Miller" <davem at davemloft.net>

commit 08280e6c4c2e8049ac61d9e8e3536ec1df629c0d upstream.

If the MM is not active, only report the top-level PC.  Do not try to
access the address space.
