HI, Andy

Today, I see same OOPS in linux 3.4 stable. It prove that it indeed has fired.
but It is rarely to appear. I review the code. I found the a issue.
when current->mm is NULL, leave_mm will be called. but it maybe in
TLBSTATE_OK, eg: unuse_mm call after task->mm = NULL , but before enter_lazy_tlb.

therefore, it will fire. is it right?

Thanks
