ARM: 8874/1: mm: only adjust sections of valid mm structures

Browse source 
A timing hazard exists when an early fork/exec thread begins
exiting and sets its mm pointer to NULL while a separate core
tries to update the section information.

This commit ensures that the mm pointer is not NULL before
setting its section parameters. The arguments provided by
commit 11ce4b33ae ("ARM: 8672/1: mm: remove tasklist locking
from update_sections_early()") are equally valid for not
requiring grabbing the task_lock around this check.

Fixes: 08925c2f12 ("ARM: 8464/1: Update all mm structures with section adjustments")
