[patch 148/159] mm/memory.c: do_fault: avoid usage of stale vm_area_struct

Subject: mm/memory.c: do_fault: avoid usage of stale vm_area_struct

LTP testcase mtest06 [1] can trigger a crash on s390x running 5.0.0-rc8.
This is a stress test, where one thread mmaps/writes/munmaps memory area
and other thread is trying to read from it:

  CPU: 0 PID: 2611 Comm: mmap1 Not tainted 5.0.0-rc8+ #51
  Hardware name: IBM 2964 N63 400 (z/VM 6.4.0)
  Krnl PSW : 0404e00180000000 00000000001ac8d8 (__lock_acquire+0x7/0x7a8)

page_table_free() is called with NULL mm parameter, but because
"0" is a valid address on s390 (see S390_lowcore), it keeps
going until it eventually crashes in lockdep's lock_acquire.
This crash is reproducible at least since 4.14.

Problem is that "vmf->vma" used in do_fault() can become stale.
Because mmap_sem may be released, other threads can come in,
call munmap() and cause "vma" be returned to kmem cache, and
get zeroed/re-initialized and re-used:

handle_mm_fault                           |
  __handle_mm_fault                       |
    do_fault                              |
      vma = vmf->vma                      |

          vma->vm_ops->fault(vmf);        |
            mmap_sem is released          |
                                          |

                                          |     remove_vma()
                                          |       vm_area_free()
                                          |         # vma is released
                                          | ...
                                          | # same vma is allocated
                                          | # from kmem cache

                                          |   vm_area_alloc()
                                          |     memset(vma, 0, ...)
                                          |
      pte_free(vma->vm_mm, ...);          |
        page_table_free                   |
          spin_lock_bh(&mm->context.lock);|
            <crash>                       |

Cache mm_struct to avoid using potentially stale "vma".
