Subject: [PATCH v2 01/25] mm: Add kfd_process pointer to mm_struct

This patch enables the amdkfd driver to retrieve the kfd_process
object from the process's mm_struct. This is needed because kfd_process
lifespan is bound to the process's mm_struct lifespan.

When amdkfd is notified about an mm_struct tear-down, it checks if the
kfd_process pointer is valid. If so, it releases the kfd_process object
and all relevant resources.

In v3 of the patchset I will update the binding to match the final discussions
on [PATCH 1/8] mmput: use notifier chain to call subsystem exit handler.
In the meantime, I'm going to try and see if I can drop the kfd_process
in mm_struct and remove the use of the new notification chain in mmput.
Instead, I will try to use the mmu release notifier.
