Lorenzo Stoakes cd3f8467af mm: refactor mm_access() to not return NULL
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.
