Not much is needed, as the mm is passed as an argument to
handle_mm_fault(). Page faults can already be handled by 'other'
processes (get_user_pages() doesn't have to be called in the context of
the target mm). I need to check if we may not get into funky issues down
at the vfs level if using a kernel thread without files and I may need
to dbl check if anything in that path tries to signal but that's about
it afaik.
