mm: use mm_struct to resolve gate vma's in __get_user_pages
We now check if a requested user page overlaps a gate vma using the supplied mm instead of the supplied task. The given task is now used solely for accounting purposes and may be NULL. Signed-off-by: Stephen Wilson <wilsons@start.ca> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
