mm/hmm: Hold on to the mmget for the lifetime of the range Range functions like hmm_range_snapshot() and hmm_range_fault() call find_vma, which requires hodling the mmget() and the mmap_sem for the mm. Make this simpler for the callers by holding the mmget() inside the range for the lifetime of the range. Other functions that accept a range should only be called if the range is registered. This has the side effect of directly preventing hmm_release() from happening while a range is registered. That means range->dead cannot be false during the lifetime of the range, so remove dead and hmm_mirror_mm_is_alive() entirely.
