perf/x86: Fix RDPMC vs. mm_struct tracking
Vince reported the following rdpmc() testcase failure:
> Failing test case:
>
> fd=perf_event_open();
> addr=mmap(fd);
> exec() // without closing or unmapping the event
> fd=perf_event_open();
> addr=mmap(fd);
> rdpmc() // GPFs due to rdpmc being disabled
The problem is of course that exec() plays tricks with what is
current->mm, only destroying the old mappings after having
installed the new mm.
Fix this confusion by passing along vma->vm_mm instead of relying on
current->mm.
