vfio: remove useless judgement
In function vfio_dma_do_unmap(), we currently prevent process to unmap
vfio dma region whose mm_struct is different from the vfio_dma->task.
In our virtual machine scenario which is using kvm and qemu, this
judgement stops us from liveupgrading our qemu, which uses fork() &&
exec() to load the new binary but the new process cannot do the
VFIO_IOMMU_UNMAP_DMA action during vm exit because of this judgement.
This judgement is added in commit 8f0d5bb95f76 ("vfio iommu type1: Add
task structure to vfio_dma") for the security reason. But it seems that
no other task who has no family relationship with old and new process
can get the same vfio_dma struct here for the reason of resource
isolation. So this patch delete it.
