mm: pass correct mm when growing stack
Tetsuo Handa reports seeing the WARN_ON(current->mm == NULL) in security_vm_enough_memory(), when do_execve() is touching the target mm's stack, to set up its args and environment. Yes, a UMH_NO_WAIT or UMH_WAIT_PROC call_usermodehelper() spawns an mm-less kernel thread to do the exec. And in any case, that vm_enough_memory check when growing stack ought to be done on the target mm, not on the execer's mm (though apart from the warning, it only makes a slight tweak to OVERCOMMIT_NEVER behaviour).
