[PATCH] exec: remove page_table_lock for mm counters in acct_arg_size()

From: Frantisek Hrbata

Commit 172703b mm: delete non-atomic mm counter implementation
removed non-atomic mm counters implementation. I think there is no need to hold
page_table_lock for add_mm_counter() when the splitted page table locks are not
used. This patch removes the locking.
