Subject: [PATCH] mm: pass correct mm when growing stack

Tetsuo Handa reports seeing the WARN_ON(current->mm == NULL) in
security_vm_enough_memory(), when do_execve() is touching the
target mm's stack, to set up its args and environment.

Yes, a UMH_NO_WAIT or UMH_WAIT_PROC call_usermodehelper() spawns
an mm-less kernel thread to do the exec.  And in any case, that
vm_enough_memory check when growing stack ought to be done on the
target mm, not on the execer's mm (though apart from the warning,
it only makes a slight tweak to OVERCOMMIT_NEVER behaviour).
