Sorry for missing this earlier, but as Linus pointed out this doesn't 
work: taking the mmap lock can sleep, which is illegal in an RCU read 
critical section.  Given that we're not really worried about the 
concurrency of this one because nothing else is really running, I don't 
see any reason we can't just take tasklist_lock for reading.
