fork: copy mm's vm usage counters under mmap_sem
If a forking process has a thread calling (un)mmap (silly but still), the child process may have some of its mm's vm usage counters (total_vm and friends) screwed up, because currently they are copied from oldmm w/o holding any locks (memcpy in dup_mm). This patch moves the counters initialization to dup_mmap() to be called under oldmm->mmap_sem, which eliminates any possibility of race.
