mm/memory-failure.c-failure: send right signal code to correct thread
When a thread in a multi-threaded application hits a machine check because
of an uncorrectable error in memory - we want to send the SIGBUS with
si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR to that thread. Currently we fail to do that
if the active thread is not the primary thread in the process.
collect_procs() just finds primary threads and this test:
if ((flags & MF_ACTION_REQUIRED) && t == current) {
will see that the thread we found isn't the current thread and so send a
si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AO to the primary (and nothing to the active
thread at this time).
We can fix this by checking whether "current" shares the same mm with the
process that collect_procs() said owned the page. If so, we send the
SIGBUS to current (with code BUS_MCEERR_AR).
