[PATCH 05/10] blackfin: A couple of task->mm handling fixes

The patch fixes two problems:
1. Working with task->mm w/o getting mm or grabing the task lock 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 we have to take the task lock while handle its mm.
2. Checking for process->mm is not enough because process' main
thread may exit or detach its mm via use_mm(), but other threads
may still have a valid mm.
To catch this we use find_lock_task_mm(), which walks up all
threads and returns an appropriate task (with task lock held).
