userfaultfd: don't pin the user memory in userfaultfd_file_create()
commit d2005e3f41d4f9299e2df6a967c8beb5086967a9 upstream. userfaultfd_file_create() increments mm->mm_users; this means that the memory won't be unmapped/freed if mm owner exits/execs, and UFFDIO_COPY after that can populate the orphaned mm more. Change userfaultfd_file_create() and userfaultfd_ctx_put() to use mm->mm_count to pin mm_struct. This means that atomic_inc_not_zero(mm->mm_users) is needed when we are going to actually play with this memory. Except handle_userfault() path doesn't need this, the caller must already have a reference. The patch adds the new trivial helper, mmget_not_zero(), it can have more users.
