get_gate_vma(priv->task->mm) looks ugly and wrong, task->mm can be
NULL or it can changed by exec right after mm_access().

And in theory this race is not harmless, the task can exec and then
later exit and free the new mm_struct. In this case get_task_mm(oldmm)
can't help, get_gate_vma(task->mm) can read the freed/unmapped memory.

I think that priv->task should simply die and hold_task_mempolicy()
logic can be simplified. tail_vma logic asks for cleanups too.
