Jialin Wang c0e1b774f6 proc: proc_maps_open allow proc_mem_open to return NULL 
The commit 65c6604725 ("proc: fix the issue of proc_mem_open returning
NULL") caused proc_maps_open() to return -ESRCH when proc_mem_open()
returns NULL.  This breaks legitimate /proc/<pid>/maps access for kernel
threads since kernel threads have NULL mm_struct.

The regression causes perf to fail and exit when profiling a kernel
thread:

  # perf record -v -g -p $(pgrep kswapd0)
  ...
  couldn't open /proc/65/task/65/maps

This patch partially reverts the commit to fix it.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
