Testing with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=y resulted in the kernel panic below.
This is the result of the mm_struct sometimes being free'd prior to
hfi1_file_close being called.
This was due to the combination of 2 reasons:
1) hfi1_file_close is deferred in process exit and it therefore may not
be called synchronously with process exit.
2) exit_mm is called prior to exit_files in do_exit. Normally this is ok
however, our kernel bypass code requires us to have access to the
mm_struct for house keeping both at "normal" close time as well as at
process exit.
Therefore, the fix is to simply keep a reference to the mm_struct until
we are done with it.
