This does not work for an address space that exists but is not yet associated with a task_struct, such as the mm held by struct linux_binprm during exec. Add copy_remote_mm_str(), which operates directly on a struct mm_struct. Use a common internal interface for the MMU and NOMMU implementations and define both public wrappers in mm/util.c. Preserve the existing copy_remote_vm_str() behavior, including handling zero-length requests before acquiring the task's mm.
