[RFC PATCH 08/13] kernel/fork: Define explicitly which mm_struct to duplicate during fork

[till.smejkal@googlemail.com (Till Smejkal)]

The dup_mm-function used during 'do_fork' to duplicate the current task's
mm_struct for the newly forked task always implicitly uses current->mm for
this purpose. However, during copy_mm it was already decided which
mm_struct to copy/duplicate. So pass this mm_struct to dup_mm instead of
again deciding which mm_struct to use.
