category: bugfix
bugzilla: 28332 [preparation]
CVE: NA

-------------------------------------------------

The current active_mm reference counting is confusing and sub-optimal.

Rewrite the code to explicitly consider the 4 separate cases:

    user -> user

	When switching between two user tasks, all we need to consider
	is switch_mm().

    user -> kernel

	When switching from a user task to a kernel task (which
	doesn't have an associated mm) we retain the last mm in our
	active_mm. Increment a reference count on active_mm.

  kernel -> kernel

	When switching between kernel threads, all we need to do is
	pass along the active_mm reference.

  kernel -> user

	When switching between a kernel and user task, we must switch
	from the last active_mm to the next mm, hoping of course that
	these are the same. Decrement a reference on the active_mm.

The code keeps a different order, because as you'll note, both 'to
user' cases require switch_mm().

And where the old code would increment/decrement for the 'kernel ->
kernel' case, the new code observes this is a neutral operation and
avoids touching the reference count.
