Subject: KCSAN: data-race in task_mem / unmap_region

Hello,

When using Syzkaller to fuzz the latest Linux kernel, the following
crash was triggered.

HEAD commit: a7904a538933 Linux 5.16-rc6
git tree: upstream
console output: KCSAN: data-race in task_mem / unmap_region
kernel config: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QB39MJKWKb/plain/
Syzlang reproducer: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/q2DVwVh6hr/plain/

If you fix this issue, please add the following tag to the commit:

Reported-by: Hypericum <hypericumperforatum4444@...il.com>

I think fs/proc/task_mmu.c visits the variable mm without locking and
another mmap visits mm->hiwater_vm resulting in a data race.
