[ Upstream commit 7ff94f276f8ea05df82eb115225e9b26f47a3347 ]
Fix the system crash that happens when a task iterator travel through
vma of tasks.
In task iterators, we used to access mm by following the pointer on
the task_struct; however, the death of a task will clear the pointer,
even though we still hold the task_struct. That can cause an
unexpected crash for a null pointer when an iterator is visiting a
task that dies during the visit. Keeping a reference of mm on the
iterator ensures we always have a valid pointer to mm.
