fork: reset mm->pinned_vm
mm->pinned_vm counts pages of mm's address space that were permanently
pinned in memory by increasing their reference counter. The counter was
introduced by commit bc3e53f682d9 ("mm: distinguish between mlocked and
pinned pages"), while before it locked_vm had been used for such pages.
Obviously, we should reset the counter on fork if !CLONE_VM, just like
we do with locked_vm, but currently we don't. Let's fix it.
This patch will fix the contents of /proc/pid/status:VmPin.
ib_umem_get[infiniband] and perf_mmap still check pinned_vm against
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. It's left from the times when pinned pages were accounted
under locked_vm, but today it looks wrong. It isn't clear how we should
deal with it.
We still have some drivers accounting pinned pages under mm->locked_vm -
this is what commit bc3e53f682d9 was fighting against. It's
infiniband/usnic and vfio.
