[PATCH] Add mm->task_size and fix powerpc vdso

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>]

This patch adds mm->task_size to keep track of the task size of a given
mm and uses that to fix the powerpc vdso so that it uses the mm task
size to decide what pages to fault in instead of the current thread
flags (which broke when ptracing).
