Registration of a mmu_notifier requires the caller to hold a mmget() on
the mm as registration is not permitted to race with exit_mmap(). There is
a BUG_ON inside the mmu_notifier to guard against this.
Normally creating a umem is done against current which implicitly holds
the mmget(), however an implicit ODP child is created from a pagefault
work queue and is not guaranteed to have a mmget().
Call mmget() around this registration and abort faulting if the MM has
gone to exit_mmap().
Before the patch below the notifier was registered when the implicit ODP
parent was created, so there was no chance to register a notifier outside
of 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.
