+Subject: mm: refactor mm_access() to not return NULL
+
+From: Lorenzo Stoakes <lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>
+
+[ Upstream commit cd3f8467afd470ccab0de2fbc7c76664af4a0bac ]
+
+mm_access() can return NULL if the mm is not found, but this is handled
+the same as an error in all callers, with some translating this into an
+-ESRCH error.
+
+Only proc_mem_open() returns NULL if no mm is found, however in this case
+it is clearer and makes more sense to explicitly handle the error.
+Additionally we take the opportunity to refactor the function to eliminate
+unnecessary nesting.
+
+Simplify things by simply returning -ESRCH if no mm is found - this both
+eliminates confusing use of the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() macro, and simplifies
+callers which would return -ESRCH by returning this error directly.
