Subject: fs/proc/base.c: fix GPF in /proc/$PID/map_files

commit 70335abb2689c8cd5df91bf2d95a65649addf50b upstream.

The expected logic of proc_map_files_get_link() is either to return 0
and initialize 'path' or return an error and leave 'path' uninitialized.

By the time dname_to_vma_addr() returns 0 the corresponding vma may have
already be gone.  In this case the path is not initialized but the
return value is still 0.  This results in 'general protection fault'
inside d_path().

Steps to reproduce:

  CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y

    fd = open(...);
    while (1) {
        mmap(fd, ...);
        munmap(fd, ...);
    }

  ls -la /proc/$PID/map_files
