mm/memory-failure.c-failure: send right signal code to correct thread
When a thread in a multi-threaded application hits a machine check because of an uncorrectable error in memory - we want to send the SIGBUS with si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR to that thread. Currently we fail to do that if the active thread is not the primary thread in the process. collect_procs() just finds primary threads and this test: if ((flags & MF_ACTION_REQUIRED) && t == current) { will see that the thread we found isn't the current thread and so send a si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AO to the primary (and nothing to the active thread at this time). We can fix this by checking whether "current" shares the same mm with the process that collect_procs() said owned the page. If so, we send the SIGBUS to current (with code BUS_MCEERR_AR).
