[PATCH 4.19 254/361] mm/hmm: fix race between hmm_mirror_unregister() and mmu_notifier callback

From: Ralph Campbell <rcampbell@nvidia.com>

commit 86a2d59841ab0b147ffc1b7b3041af87927cf312 upstream.

In hmm_mirror_unregister(), mm->hmm is set to NULL and then
mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release() is called. That creates a small
window where mmu_notifier can call mmu_notifier_ops with mm->hmm equal to
NULL. Fix this by first unregistering mmu notifier callbacks and then
setting mm->hmm to NULL.

Similarly in hmm_register(), set mm->hmm before registering mmu_notifier
callbacks so callback functions always see mm->hmm set.
