kernel/fork.c: detect early free of a live mm

KASAN splats indicate that in some cases we free a live mm, then
continue to access it, with potentially disastrous results.  This is
likely due to a mismatched mmdrop() somewhere in the kernel, but so far
the culprit remains elusive.

Let's have __mmdrop() verify that the mm isn't live for the current
task, similar to the existing check for init_mm.  This way, we can catch
this class of issue earlier, and without requiring KASAN.

Currently, idle_task_exit() leaves active_mm stale after it switches to
init_mm.  This isn't harmful, but will trigger the new assertions, so we
must adjust idle_task_exit() to update active_mm.
