From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
As coded this function can false-fail in various racy situations. Make it
reliable and simpler by running under the write side of the mmap_sem and
avoiding the false-failing compare/exchange pattern. Due to the mmap_sem
this no longer has to avoid racing with a 2nd parallel
hmm_get_or_create().
Unfortunately this still has to use the page_table_lock as the
non-sleeping lock protecting mm->hmm, since the contexts where we free the
hmm are incompatible with mmap_sem.

v2:
- Fix error unwind of mmgrab (Jerome)
- Use hmm local instead of 2nd container_of (Jerome)
v3:
- Can't use mmap_sem in the SRCU callback, keep using the
page_table_lock (Philip)
