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()").

  # cat /proc/2/auxv
