With exit_mmap holding mmap_write_lock during free_pgtables call, process_mrelease does not need to elevate mm->mm_users in order to prevent exit_mmap from destrying pagetables while __oom_reap_task_mm is walking the VMA tree. The change prevents process_mrelease from calling the last mmput, which can lead to waiting for IO completion in exit_aio.

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.
