mm/migrate: find_mm_struct: fix race between security checks and suid exec
The target task can execute a setuid binary between ptrace_may_access() and get_task_mm(). Protect this critical section with exec_update_lock. I don't think cpuset_mems_allowed(task) should be called under exec_update_lock, but this patch just tries to add the minimal fix. Perhaps we can later add a common helper which can be used by find_mm_struct() and kernel_migrate_pages().
