I would probably move the declaration of the mm variable to the top just
so you don't have the large "offset" valley between the two long variable
declarations.

This seems like it is taking things in the opposite direction of the other
changes. sync_mm_rss will operate on current if I am not mistaken. I don't
think you would want to add the stats from current to the stats of the
task you are updating.

It might make sense to add a new function that would allow you to sync the
remote task stats by creaing a version of sync_mm_rss that also takes a
task pointer.

This piece of code has me wondering if it is valid to be using vma->mm at
the start of the function. I assume we are probably safe since we read the
mm value before the semaphore was released in userfaultfd_remove. It might
make more sense to just pass the task to the function and use task->mm-
>mmap_sem instead. 

It might be simpler, safer, and easier to review to just go through and
add the task struct as needed and then simply replace references to
current->mm with task->mm.
