[PATCH] proc: Fix pointer error dereference

[Ethan Tidmore]

The function try_lookup_noperm() can return an error pointer. Add check
for error pointer.

Detected by Smatch:
fs/proc/base.c:2148 proc_fill_cache() error:
'child' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()

Fixes: 61a28784028e6 ("proc: Remove the hard coded inode numbers")
