It seems likely this block was pasted from internal_get_user_pages_fast,
which is not passed an mm struct and therefore uses current's.  But
__get_user_pages_locked is passed an explicit mm, and current->mm is not
always valid. This was hit when being called from i915, which uses:

  pin_user_pages_remote->
    __get_user_pages_remote->
      __gup_longterm_locked->
        __get_user_pages_locked

Before, this would lead to an OOPS:

This commit fixes the problem by using the mm pointer passed to the
function rather than the bogus one in current.
