mainlining shenanigans

If a process exits without doing proper cleanup, there's a window
where an opencapi device can try to access the memory of the dying
process and may trigger a page fault. That's an expected scenario and
the ocxl driver holds a reference on the mm_struct of the process
until the opencapi device is notified of the process exiting.
However, if mm_users is already at 0, i.e. the address space of the
process has already been destroyed, the driver shouldn't try resolving
the page fault, as it will fail, but it can also try accessing already
freed data.
It is fixed by only calling the bottom half of the page fault handler
if mm_users is greater than 0 and get a reference on mm_users instead
of mm_count. Otherwise, we can safely return a translation fault to
the device, as its associated memory context is being removed. The
opencapi device will be properly cleaned up shortly after when closing
the file descriptors.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
