[PATCH 6/8] blackfin: Fix possible race on task->mm

[Anton Vorontsov]

Even when in atomic context, grabbing irqsave variant of tasklist lock
is not enough to protect task->mm from disappearing on SMP machines.
Instead, we have to grab the task lock.

p.s. I don't have blackfin toolchain handy, so I did not build-test
the patch.
