Possible NULL pointer dereference in m32r

arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c contains the following code:
--
preempt_disable();
cpu_id = smp_processor_id();
mmc = &mm->context[cpu_id];
cpu_mask = mm->cpu_vm_mask;
cpu_clear(cpu_id, cpu_mask);
#iffdef DEBUG_SMP
if (!mm)
BUG();
#endif
--
mm might be NULL, but this would only be detected after it
has been dereferenced, and only then if DEBUG_SMP is defined.
I'd suggest changing to read something like this:
--
if ( !mm )
BUG();
preempt_disable();
