mm: fix use-after-free bug when mm->mmap is reused after being freed
oom reaping (__oom_reap_task_mm) relies on a 2 way synchronization with exit_mmap. First it relies on the mmap_lock to exclude from unlock path[1], page tables tear down (free_pgtables) and vma destruction. This alone is not sufficient because mm->mmap is never reset. For historical reasons[2] the lock is taken there is also MMF_OOM_SKIP set for oom victims before. The oom reaper only ever looks at oom victims so the whole scheme works properly but process_mrelease can opearate on any task (with fatal signals pending) which doesn't really imply oom victims. That means that the MMF_OOM_SKIP part of the synchronization doesn't work and it can see a task after the whole address space has been demolished and traverse an already released mm->mmap list. This leads to use after free as properly caught up by KASAN report. Fix the issue by reseting mm->mmap so that MMF_OOM_SKIP synchronization is not needed anymore. The MMF_OOM_SKIP is not removed from exit_mmap yet but it acts mostly as an optimization now.
