Yes, this makes sure the mm pointer remains valid

Not just marked for destruction, but that another thread is
progressing or finished release().
The other detail here is that in general you can't get the mmap_sem
without also having a mmget as exit_mmap() does not lock the mmap_sem
in some places where it alters the datastructures. ie racing
find_vma() with exit_mmap() is not allowed.
This means we have to hold the mmget across the hmm_range_fault(), but
we can drop the mmget and then test mmu_range_read_retry() under the
driver lock. It will return true if the mmget refcount has gone to
zero in the mean time.
But I think this is probably a poor driver design, a driver should
just hold the mmget() until it has completed establishing the shadow
PTEs, as it is hard to see a reason not to..
