kernel: is_current_single_threaded: don't use ->mmap_sem

is_current_single_threaded() can safely miss a freshly forked CLONE_VM
task, but in this case it must not miss its parent. That is why we take
mm->mmap_sem for writing to make sure a thread/task with the same ->mm
can't pass exit_mm() and disappear.

However we can avoid ->mmap_sem and rely on rcu/barriers:

- if we do not see the exiting parent on thread/process list
we see the result of list_del_rcu(), in this case we must
also see the result of list_add_rcu() which does wmb().

- if we do see the parent but its ->mm == NULL, we need rmb()
to make sure we can't miss the child.
