mm/hmm: Simplify hmm_get_or_create and make it reliable As coded this function can false-fail in various racy situations. Make it reliable and simpler by running under the write side of the mmap_sem and avoiding the false-failing compare/exchange pattern. Due to the mmap_sem this no longer has to avoid racing with a 2nd parallel hmm_get_or_create(). Unfortunately this still has to use the page_table_lock as the non-sleeping lock protecting mm->hmm, since the contexts where we free the hmm are incompatible with mmap_sem.
