Anyone who wants to do copy to/from user from a kernel thread, needs
use_mm (like what fs/aio has). Move that into mm/, to make reusing and
exporting easier down the line, and make aio use it. Next intended
user, besides aio, will be vhost-net.

When mm switched to matches that of active mm, we don't need to
increment and then drop the mm count. In a simple benchmark this
happens in about 50% of time. Making that conditional reduces
contention on that cache line on SMP systems.
