In some cases we can get to fix_range_common() with mmap_sem held, and in others we get there without it being held. For example, we get there with it held from sys_mprotect(), and without it held from fork_handler(). Avoid any issues in this and simply defer killing the task until it runs the next time. Do it on the mm so that another task that shares the same mm can't continue running afterwards.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
