Jason A. Donenfeld a4d63c3732 mm: do not rely on mm == current->mm in __get_user_pages_locked
It seems likely this block was pasted from internal_get_user_pages_fast,
which is not passed an mm struct and therefore uses current's.  But
__get_user_pages_locked is passed an explicit mm, and current->mm is not
always valid. This was hit when being called from i915, which uses:

  pin_user_pages_remote->
    __get_user_pages_remote->
      __gup_longterm_locked->
        __get_user_pages_locked

Before, this would lead to an OOPS:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000064

This commit fixes the problem by using the mm pointer passed to the
function rather than the bogus one in current.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
