mm, oom_reaper: fix memory corruption

commit 4837fe37adff1d159904f0c013471b1ecbcb455e upstream.

David Rientjes has reported the following memory corruption while the
oom reaper tries to unmap the victims address space

  BUG: Bad page map in process oom_reaper  pte:6353826300000000 pmd:00000000
  addr:00007f50cab1d000 vm_flags:08100073 anon_vma:ffff9eea335603f0 mapping:          (null) index:7f50cab1d
  file:          (null) fault:          (null) mmap:          (null) readpage:          (null)
  CPU: 2 PID: 1001 Comm: oom_reaper
  Call Trace:
     unmap_page_range+0x1068/0x1130
     __oom_reap_task_mm+0xd5/0x16b
     oom_reaper+0xff/0x14c
     kthread+0xc1/0xe0

Tetsuo Handa has noticed that the synchronization inside exit_mmap is
insufficient.  We only synchronize with the oom reaper if
tsk_is_oom_victim which is not true if the final __mmput is called from
a different context than the oom victim exit path.  This can trivially
happen from context of any task which has grabbed mm reference (e.g.  to
read /proc/<pid>/ file which requires mm etc.).

The race would look like this

  oom_reaper oom_victim task
mmget_not_zero
do_exit
  mmput
  __oom_reap_task_mm mmput
     __mmput
    exit_mmap
      remove_vma
    unmap_page_range

Fix this issue by providing a new mm_is_oom_victim() helper which
operates on the mm struct rather than a task.  Any context which
operates on a remote mm struct should use this helper in place of
tsk_is_oom_victim.  The flag is set in mark_oom_victim and never cleared
so it is stable in the exit_mmap path.
