This will not be sufficient in general. You can have mm shared with a
process without CLONE_THREAD. So you would also need to check also
MMF_MULTIPROCESS. But I do remember that general get_nr_threads is quite
tricky to use properly. Make sure to CC Oleg Nesterov for more details.
Also how does this work when the mm is shared with a kernel thread?
