From: Dean Roe <roe@sgi.com>
Subject: Prevent NULL pointer deref in grab_swap_token
References: 159260

grab_swap_token() assumes that the current process has an mm struct,
which is not true for kernel threads invoking get_user_pages().  Since
this should be extremely rare, just return from grab_swap_token()
without doing anything.
