perf/x86: Fix RDPMC vs. mm_struct tracking



Vince reported the following rdpmc() testcase failure:

 > Failing test case:
 >
 >	fd=perf_event_open();
 >	addr=mmap(fd);
 >	exec()  // without closing or unmapping the event
 >	fd=perf_event_open();
 >	addr=mmap(fd);
 >	rdpmc()	// GPFs due to rdpmc being disabled

The problem is of course that exec() plays tricks with what is
current->mm, only destroying the old mappings after having
installed the new mm.

Fix this confusion by passing along vma->vm_mm instead of relying on
current->mm.
