From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

When m_start returns an error, the seq_file logic will still call m_stop
with that error entry, so we'd better make sure that we check it before
using it as a vma.

Introduced by commit ec6fd8a4355c ("report errors in /proc/*/*map*
sanely"), which replaced NULL with various ERR_PTR() cases.

(On ia64, you happen to get a unaligned fault instead of a page fault,
since the address used is generally some random error code like -EPERM)

This is already applied on lucid, maverick and natty master/master-next,
but is required also on lucid/fsl-imx51, maverick/ti-omap4,
