proc: check vma->vm_file before dereferencing

7b540d0646ce ("proc_map_files_readdir(): don't bother with grabbing
files") switched proc_map_files_readdir() to use @f_mode directly instead of
grabbing @file reference, but same time the test for @vm_file presence was
lost leading to nil dereference.  The patch brings the test back.

The all proc_map_files feature is CONFIG_\10CHECKPOINT_RESTORE wrapped
(which is set to 'n' by default) so the bug doesn't affect regular
kernels.

The regression is 3.7-rc1 only as far as I can tell.
