Noticed while reviewing d4b4dd1b9706 ("RDMA/umem: Do not use current->tgid to track the mm_struct") patch. Why would we take a lock, adjust a protected variable, drop the lock, and *then* check the input into our protected variable adjustment? Then we have to take the lock again on our error unwind. Let's just check the input early and skip taking the locks needlessly if the input isn't valid.
