The following functions call proc_mem_open but do not handle the case
where it returns NULL:

  __mem_open in fs/proc/base.c
  proc_maps_open in fs/proc/task_mmu.c
  smaps_rollup_open in fs/proc/task_mmu.c
  pagemap_open in fs/proc/task_mmu.c
  maps_open in fs/proc/task_nommu.c

The following reported bugs may be related to this issue:

  https://lore.kernel.org/all/0000000000001bc4a00612d9a7f4@google.com

Fix:

Modify proc_mem_open to return an error code in case of errors, instead
of returning NULL.
