Range functions like hmm_range_snapshot() and hmm_range_fault() call find_vma, which requires hodling the mmget() and the mmap_sem for the mm. Make this simpler for the callers by holding the mmget() inside the range for the lifetime of the range. Other functions that accept a range should only be called if the range is registered. This has the side effect of directly preventing hmm_release() from happening while a range is registered. That means range->dead cannot be false during the lifetime of the range, so remove dead and hmm_mirror_mm_is_alive() entirely.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
