The existing sva_bind() interface requires the caller to take the mm
reference before calling it. So mm is safe during sva bind() and
unbind().

drivers/iommu/iommu.c:
/**
  * iommu_sva_bind_device() - Bind a process address space to a device
  * @dev: the device
  * @mm: the mm to bind, caller must hold a reference to it
  * @drvdata: opaque data pointer to pass to bind callback
  *
  * Create a bond between device and address space, allowing the device 
to access
  * the mm using the returned PASID. If a bond already exists between 
@device and
  * @mm, it is returned and an additional reference is taken. Caller 
must call
  * iommu_sva_unbind_device() to release each reference.
  *
  * iommu_dev_enable_feature(dev, IOMMU_DEV_FEAT_SVA) must be called 
first, to
  * initialize the required SVA features.
  *
  * On error, returns an ERR_PTR value.
  */
struct iommu_sva *
iommu_sva_bind_device(struct device *dev, struct mm_struct *mm, void 
*drvdata)
