[PATCH -part2 0/3] mm: improve handling of mm->exe_file

[Davidlohr Bueso]

This set addresses exe_file use for users that require the mmap_sem
for other things (mostly looking up the related vma->vm_file). In
a lot of cases we end up with scenarios where we take the mmap_sem in
get_mm_exe_file(), just to then take it again soon after. This is only
temporary as we will remove the need for mmap_sem when dealing with
exe_file.

Applies on top of linux-next (-20150225). The arch bits are entirely
100% untested, so I apologize if there are any stupid build issues.

Thanks!

  tile/elf: reorganize notify_exec()
  oprofile: reduce mmap_sem hold for mm->exe_file
  powerpc/oprofile: reduce mmap_sem hold for exe_file
