Revert "mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec"
This reverts commit 40af1bbdca47e5c8a2044039bb78ca8fd8b20f94.
It's horribly and utterly broken for at least the following reasons:
- calling sync_mm_rss() from mmput() is fundamentally wrong, because
there's absolutely no reason to believe that the task that does the
mmput() always does it on its own VM. Example: fork, ptrace, /proc -
you name it.
- calling it *after* having done mmdrop() on it is doubly insane, since
the mm struct may well be gone now.
- testing mm against NULL before you call it is insane too, since a
NULL mm there would have caused oopses long before.
.. and those are just the three bugs I found before I decided to give up
looking for me and revert it asap. I should have caught it before I
even took it, but I trusted Andrew too much.
