Subject: mm/oom_kill: allow process_mrelease to run under mmap_lock protection
With exit_mmap holding mmap_write_lock during free_pgtables call,
process_mrelease does not need to elevate mm->mm_users in order to prevent
exit_mmap from destrying pagetables while __oom_reap_task_mm is walking
the VMA tree. The change prevents process_mrelease from calling the last
mmput, which can lead to waiting for IO completion in exit_aio.
