[PATCH] mm: Restore mmput_async

From: Sherry Yang
Date: Wed Sep 13 2017 - 17:59:50 EST


Restore asynchronous mmput, allowing mmput_async to be called
from an atomic context in Android binder shrinker callback.

mmput_async was initially introduced in ec8d7c14e
("mm, oom_reaper: do not mmput synchronously from the
oom reaper context"), and was removed in 212925802
("mm: oom: let oom_reap_task and exit_mmap run concurrently")
