H A Dvas-debug.cdb1c08a7 Thu Apr 16 01:02:16 CDT 2020 Haren Myneni <haren@linux.ibm.com> powerpc/vas: Take reference to PID and mm for user space windows

When process opens a window, its pid and tgid will be saved in the
vas_window struct. This window will be closed when the process exits.
The kernel handles NX faults by updating CSB or send SEGV signal to pid
of the process if the userspace csb addr is invalid.

In multi-thread applications, a window can be opened by a child thread,
but it will not be closed when this thread exits. It is expected that
the parent will clean up all resources including NX windows opened by
child threads. A child thread can send NX requests using this window
and could be killed before completion is reported. If the pid assigned
to this thread is reused while requests are pending, a failure SEGV
would be directed to the wrong place.

To prevent reusing the pid, take references to pid and mm when the window
is opened and release them when when the window is closed. Then if child
thread is not running, SEGV signal will be sent to thread group leader
(tgid).
