Appears to have been fixed in v3:

pid_t vm_is_stack(struct task_struct *task,
		  struct vm_area_struct *vma, int in_group)
{
	pid_t ret = 0;

	if (vm_is_stack_for_task(task, vma))
		return task->pid;

	if (in_group) {
		struct task_struct *t;
		rcu_read_lock();
		if (!pid_alive(task))
			goto done;

		t = task;
		do {
			if (vm_is_stack_for_task(t, vma)) {
				ret = t->pid;
				goto done;
			}
		} while_each_thread(task, t);
done:
		rcu_read_unlock();
	}

	return ret;
}

I'm working on getting a -next update sent to Stephen today.
