sparc64: Fix MM refcount check in smp_flush_tlb_pending().
As explained by Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
> CPU 0 is running the context, task->mm == task->active_mm == your
> context. The CPU is in userspace happily churning things.
>
> CPU 1 used to run it, not anymore, it's now running fancyfsd which
> is a kernel thread, but current->active_mm still points to that
> same context.
>
> Because there's only one "real" user, mm_users is 1 (but mm_count is
> elevated, it's just that the presence on CPU 1 as active_mm has no
> effect on mm_count().
>
> At this point, fancyfsd decides to invalidate a mapping currently mapped
> by that context, for example because a networked file has changed
> remotely or something like that, using unmap_mapping_ranges().

To fix this problem, check ->mm instead of ->active_mm, and this
means:
> So if you test current->mm, you effectively account for mm_users == 1,
> so the only way the mm can be active on another processor is as a lazy
> mm for a kernel thread. So your test should work properly as long
> as you don't have a HW that will do speculative TLB reloads into the
> TLB on that other CPU (and even if you do, you flush-on-switch-in should
> get rid of any crap here).
And therefore we should be OK.
