Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm/oom_kill: allow process_mrelease to run under
 mmap_lock protection

With exit_mmap holding mmap_write_lock during free_pgtables call,
process_mrelease does not need to elevate mm->mm_users in order to
prevent exit_mmap from destrying pagetables while __oom_reap_task_mm
is walking the VMA tree. The change prevents process_mrelease from
calling the last mmput, which can lead to waiting for IO completion
in exit_aio.

Fixes: 337546e83fc7 ("mm/oom_kill.c: prevent a race between process_mrelease and exit_mmap")
