Alan Cox 731572d39f nfsd: fix vm overcommit crash 
Junjiro R.  Okajima reported a problem where knfsd crashes if you are
using it to export shmemfs objects and run strict overcommit.  In this
situation the current->mm based modifier to the overcommit goes through a
NULL pointer.

We could simply check for NULL and skip the modifier but we've caught
other real bugs in the past from mm being NULL here - cases where we did
need a valid mm set up (eg the exec bug about a year ago).

To preserve the checks and get the logic we want shuffle the checking
around and add a new helper to the vm_ security wrappers

Also fix a current->mm reference in nommu that should use the passed mm
