Subject: fs/binfmt_elf.c: better codegen around current->mm
"current->mm" pointer is stable in general except few cases one of which
execve(2). Compiler can't treat is as stable but it _is_ stable most of
the time. During ELF loading process ->mm becomes stable right after
flush_old_exec().
Help compiler by caching current->mm, otherwise it continues to refetch it.
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-141 (-141)
Function old new delta
elf_core_dump 5062 5039 -23
load_elf_binary 5426 5308 -118
Note: other cases are left as is because it is either pessimisation or no
change in binary size.
