x86: mm: avoid allocating struct mm_struct on the stack
struct mm_struct is quite large (~1664 bytes) and so allocating on the
stack may cause problems as the kernel stack size is small.
Since ptdump_walk_pgd_level_core() was only allocating the structure so
that it could modify the pgd argument we can instead introduce a pgd
override in struct mm_walk and pass this down the call stack to where it
is needed.
Since the correct mm_struct is now being passed down, it is now also
unnecessary to take the mmap_sem semaphore because ptdump_walk_pgd() will
now take the semaphore on the real mm.
