Subject: [PATCH 04/15] mm/hmm: unregister mmu_notifier when last HMM client quit v2

From: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@...hat.com>

This code was lost in translation at one point. This properly call
mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release() once last user is gone. This
fix the zombie mm_struct as without this patch we do not drop the
refcount we have on it.

Changed since v1:
  - close race window between a last mirror unregistering and a new
    mirror registering, which could have lead to use after free()
    kind of bug
