bpf: keep a reference to the mm, in case the task is dead.

Fix the system crash that happens when a task iterator travel through
vma of tasks.

In task iterators, we used to access mm by following the pointer on
the task_struct; however, the death of a task will clear the pointer,
even though we still hold the task_struct.  That can cause an
unexpected crash for a null pointer when an iterator is visiting a
task that dies during the visit.  Keeping a reference of mm on the
iterator ensures we always have a valid pointer to mm.
