Just a minor nitpick, but can we please have it named madvise_common,
not madvise_core? This would follow a usual naming scheme, when some
common functionality is factored out (like, for mutexes, semaphores
etc), and within the kernel "core" usually means something completely
different.

Not sure what this change is about except changing the line length.
Note, madvise_inject_error() still operates on "current" through
get_user_pages_fast() and gup_pgd_range(), but that was not changed
here. I Know you've filtered out this hint later, so technically this
is not an issue, but, maybe, this needs some attention too since we've
already spotted it?

Do you still need that trick with mmget_still_valid() here?
Something like:

if (current->mm != mm && !mmget_still_valid(mm))
   goto skip_mm;

and that skip_mm label would be before

if (write)
   up_write(&mm->mmap_sem);

below.

(see 04f5866e41fb70690e28397487d8bd8eea7d712a for details on this)
