um: fix possible race on task->mm
Checking for task->mm is dangerous as ->mm might disappear (exit_mm() assigns NULL under task_lock(), so tasklist lock is not enough). We can't use get_task_mm()/mmput() pair as mmput() might sleep, so let's take the task lock while we care about its mm. Note that we should also use find_lock_task_mm() to check all process' threads for a valid mm, but for uml we'll do it in a separate patch.
