mempolicy: fix show_numa_map() vs exec() + do_set_mempolicy() race

9e781440 "hold task->mempolicy while numa_maps scans." fixed the
race with the exiting task but this is not enough.

The current code assumes that get_vma_policy(task) should either see
task->mempolicy == NULL or it should be equal to ->task_mempolicy saved
by hold_task_mempolicy(), so we can never race with __mpol_put(). But
this can only work if we can't race with do_set_mempolicy(), and thus
we can't race with another do_set_mempolicy() or do_exit() after that.

However, do_set_mempolicy()->down_write(mmap_sem) can not prevent this
race. This task can exec, change it's ->mm, and call do_set_mempolicy()
after that; in this case they take 2 different locks.

Change hold_task_mempolicy() to use get_task_policy(), it never returns
NULL, and change show_numa_map() to use __get_vma_policy() or fall back
to proc_priv->task_mempolicy.

Note: this is the minimal fix, we will cleanup this code later. I think
hold_task_mempolicy() and release_task_mempolicy() should die, we can
move this logic into show_numa_map(). Or we can move get_task_policy()
outside of ->mmap_sem and !CONFIG_NUMA code at least.
