For constant $m$, the curl of a cross product identity reduces toCommuting mixed second partial derivatives gives $(m\cdot \nabla )\nabla \varphi =\nabla (m\cdot \nabla \varphi )$. Hence the requested sum equals $m\Delta \varphi$, which is zero because $\varphi$ is harmonic. The argument assumes the indicated second derivatives are continuous on the domain.
