Lockdep complains that __mmdrop is not safe from the softirq context:

More over commit a79e53d856 ("x86/mm: Fix pgd_lock deadlock") was
explicit about pgd_lock not to be called from the irq context.  This
means that __mmdrop called from free_signal_struct has to be postponed
to a user context.  We already have a similar mechanism for mmput_async
so we can use it here as well.  This is safe because mm_count is pinned
by mm_users.

This fixes bug introduced by "oom: keep mm of the killed task available"
