Subject[PATCH -mm 1/1] ptrace: PTRACE_GETFDPIC: fix the unsafe usage of child->mm
Now that Mike Frysinger unified the FDPIC ptrace code, we can fix
the unsafe usage of child->mm in ptrace_request(PTRACE_GETFDPIC).

We have the reference to task_struct, and ptrace_check_attach()
verified the tracee is stopped. But nothing can protect from
SIGKILL after that, we must not assume child->mm != NULL.
