When a vfio container is preserved across exec, the task does not change,
but it gets a new mm with locked_vm=0. If the user later unmaps a dma
mapping, locked_vm underflows to a large unsigned value, and a subsequent
dma map request fails with ENOMEM in __account_locked_vm.
To avoid underflow, grab and save the mm at the time a dma is mapped.
Use that mm when adjusting locked_vm, rather than re-acquiring the saved
task's mm, which may have changed. If the saved mm is dead, do nothing.
