It occurred to me to wonder if it is best to use the MMU notifier's
instance of srcu, instead of creating a separate instance for HMM.
But this really does seem appropriate, since we are after all using
this to synchronize with MMU notifier callbacks. So, fine.

Well, sometimes, yes. :)

Maybe this wording is clearer (if we need any comment at all):

	/* Bail out if hmm is in the process of being freed */

Same here.

And here.

Elegant fix. Regardless of the above chatter I added, you can add:
