Subject: [PATCH] mm: migrate: simplify find_mm_struct()

Use find_get_task_by_vpid() to replace the task_struct find logic in
find_mm_struct(), note that this patch move the ptrace_may_access()
call out from rcu_read_lock() scope, this is ok because it actually
does not need it, find_get_task_by_vpid() already get the pid and task
safely, ptrace_may_access() can use the task safely, like what
sched_core_share_pid() similarly do.
