mm: arch: make get_gate_vma take an mm_struct instead of a task_struct
Morally, the presence of a gate vma is more an attribute of a particular mm than a particular task. Moreover, dropping the dependency on task_struct will help make both existing and future operations on mm's more flexible and convenient.
