Subject: [PATCH 2/2] memcg: Close the race between migration and installing bprm->mm as mm


Oleg pointed out that there is a race at exec time between when
bprm->mm is initialized and the exec'ing task being migrated to a
different memory control group.

Ractor the code in memcontrol so exec_mmap can use the same code as as
fork to ensure that task->memcg == task->mm->memcg.
