Yes, agreed. See another email from me, MMF_ flags looks "obviously
useful" to me.
(I'd suggest you to add a note into the changelog, to explain
that the new flag makes sense even without coredump problems).

IIUC, it has find_lock_task() mm above and thus we can trust p->mm ?
(I am asking just in case, I lost the plot a bit).
Ack or Reviewed, whatever your prefer.
Very minor nit.

Perhaps this check makes more sense at the start of the loop,
and there is no need to set "stop = 1" (this var is not visible
outside of "for (;;) {}" anyway). Cosmetic, up to you.
