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

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
