Robin Holt 751efd8610 mmu_notifier_unregister NULL Pointer deref and multiple ->release() callouts 
There is a race condition between mmu_notifier_unregister() and
__mmu_notifier_release().

Assume two tasks, one calling mmu_notifier_unregister() as a result of a
filp_close() ->flush() callout (task A), and the other calling
mmu_notifier_release() from an mmput() (task B).

                A                               B
t1                                              srcu_read_lock()
t2              if (!hlist_unhashed())
t3                                              srcu_read_unlock()
t4              srcu_read_lock()
t5                                              hlist_del_init_rcu()
t6                                              synchronize_srcu()
t7              srcu_read_unlock()
t8              hlist_del_rcu()  <--- NULL pointer deref.

Additionally, the list traversal in __mmu_notifier_release() is not
protected by the by the mmu_notifier_mm->hlist_lock which can result in
callouts to the ->release() notifier from both mmu_notifier_unregister()
and __mmu_notifier_release().

-stable suggestions:

The stable trees prior to 3.7.y need commits 21a92735f6 and
70400303ce cherry-picked in that order prior to cherry-picking this
commit.  The 3.7.y tree already has those two commits.
