[PATCH] fork: dup_mm: init vm stat counters under mmap_sem

[Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@parallels.com>]

If a forking process has a thread calling (un)mmap (silly but still),
the child process may have some of its mm's vm stats (total_vm and
friends) screwed up, because currently they are copied from oldmm w/o
holding any locks (see dup_mm).

This patch moves the stats initialization to dup_mmap to be called under
oldmm->mmap_sem, which eliminates any possibility of race.

Also, mm->pinned_vm is not reset on fork. Let's fix it.
