[PATCH] proc: fixup empty ARGV case for /proc/$PID/cmdline

[Alexey Dobriyan]

/proc/*/cmdline code checks if it should look at ENVP area by checking
last byte of ARGV area:

	rv = access_remote_vm(mm, arg_end - 1, &c, 1, 0);
	if (rv <= 0)
		goto out_free_page;

If ARGV is somehow made empty (by doing execve(..., NULL, ...) or
manually setting ->arg_start and ->arg_end to equal values), the decision
will be based on byte which doesn't even belong to ARGV/ENVP.

So, quickly check if ARGV area is empty and report 0 to match previous
behaviour.
