[PATCH][v2] x86/process: Return early if TIF_IO_BITMAP is set but no IO bitmap is assigned

[lirongqing]

From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@xxxxxxxxx>

Outside the IOPL emulation path, the IO bitmap is always expected
to be allocated when TIF_IO_BITMAP is set. The paranoid WARN_ON_ONCE()
handles the case where the flag and the pointer got out of sync.
In this rare scenario, return early instead of continuing and
dereferencing a NULL pointer.
