Anton Vorontsov cb79295e20 cpu: introduce clear_tasks_mm_cpumask() helper
Many architectures clear tasks' mm_cpumask like this:

	read_lock(&tasklist_lock);
	for_each_process(p) {
		if (p->mm)
			cpumask_clear_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(p->mm));
	}
	read_unlock(&tasklist_lock);

Depending on the context, the code above may have several problems,
such as:

1. Working with task->mm w/o getting mm or grabing the task lock is
   dangerous as ->mm might disappear (exit_mm() assigns NULL under
   task_lock(), so tasklist lock is not enough).

2. Checking for process->mm is not enough because process' main
   thread may exit or detach its mm via use_mm(), but other threads
   may still have a valid mm.

This patch implements a small helper function that does things
correctly, i.e.:

1. We take the task's lock while whe handle its mm (we can't use
   get_task_mm()/mmput() pair as mmput() might sleep);

2. To catch exited main thread case, we use find_lock_task_mm(),
   which walks up all threads and returns an appropriate task
   (with task lock held).

Also, Per Peter Zijlstra's idea, now we don't grab tasklist_lock in
the new helper, instead we take the rcu read lock. We can do this
because the function is called after the cpu is taken down and marked
offline, so no new tasks will get this cpu set in their mm mask.
