hi
we were removing this code. see
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20200313031109.7989-1-yan.y.zhao@xxxxxxxxx/

The implementation of vfio_dma_rw() has been in vfio next tree.
https://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio/commit/8d46c0cca5f4dc0538173d62cd36b1119b5105bc

in vfio_dma_rw(),  we still use
bool kthread = current->mm == NULL.
because if current->mm != NULL and current->flags & PF_KTHREAD, instead
of calling use_mm(), we first check if (current->mm == mm) and allow copy_to_user() if it's true.

Do you think it's all right?

Thanks
Yan
