This patch series arised out of discussions with Jerome when looking at the
ODP changes, particularly informed by use after free races we have already
found and fixed in the ODP code (thanks to syzkaller) working with mmu
notifiers, and the discussion with Ralph on how to resolve the lifetime model.

Overall this brings in a simplified locking scheme and easy to explain
lifetime model:

 If a hmm_range is valid, then the hmm is valid, if a hmm is valid then the mm
 is allocated memory.

 If the mm needs to still be alive (ie to lock the mmap_sem, find a vma, etc)
 then the mmget must be obtained via mmget_not_zero().

The use of unlocked reads on 'hmm->dead' are also eliminated in favour of
using standard mmget() locking to prevent the mm from being released. Many of
the debugging checks of !range->hmm and !hmm->mm are dropped in favour of
poison - which is much clearer as to the lifetime intent.

The trailing patches are just some random cleanups I noticed when reviewing
this code.

I'll apply this in the next few days - the only patch that doesn't have enough
Reviewed-bys is 'mm/hmm: Remove confusing comment and logic from hmm_release',
which had alot of questions, I still think it is good. If people really don't
like it I'll drop it.

Thanks to everyone who took time to look at this!
