From: Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@xxxxxxxxxx> commit a58da53ffd70294ebea8ecd0eb45fd0d74add9f9 upstream. vhost_vsock_stop() calls vhost_dev_check_owner() to check the device ownership. It expects current->mm to be valid. vhost_vsock_stop() is also called by vhost_vsock_dev_release() when the user has not done close(), so when we are in do_exit(). In this case current->mm is invalid and we're releasing the device, so we should clean it anyway. Let's check the owner only when vhost_vsock_stop() is called by an ioctl. When invoked from release we can not fail so we don't check return code of vhost_vsock_stop(). We need to stop vsock even if it's not the owner.
