staging: android/lowmemorykiller: Better mm handling
LMK should not directly check for task->mm. The reason is that the process' threads may exit or detach its mm via use_mm(), but other threads may still have a valid mm. To catch this we use find_lock_task_mm(), which walks up all threads and returns an appropriate task (with lock held).
