Thanks for catching this. I will correct in next version of these patches,
along with review comments if any.

#2 applied to 4.14.y:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/tree/queue-4.14/infiniband-fix-race-condition-between-infiniband-mlx4-mlx5-driver-and-core-dumping.patch?id=e4041a3f6b569140549fe7b41ed527c5c1e38ec9

And then to 4.9.y (some part as requires). 
4.18 and onwards doesn't have  mmap_sem locking in mlx4 and mlx5, 
so no need of #2 in 4.18 and onwards.

#3 was in discussion here (during v1), so added here.
