Cherry-pick of PR #6224 to 6.2 branch. Original message:
On Linux, kernel processes don't have an exe on disk so the
/proc/[PID]/exe
symlink is broken. When Metricbeat tries to read the symlink it gets an error and it skips the whole process. This adds a check for ENOENT and ignores the error which allows kernel processes to be reported by Metricbeat. This is the error that it fixes.Fixes #5700
