When decoding an instruction or handling a perf event that references an LDT segment, if we don't have a valid user context, trying to access the LDT by any means other than SLDT is racy. Certainly, using current->active_mm is wrong, as active_mm can point to a real user mm when CR3 and LDTR no longer reference that mm. Clean up the code. If nmi_uaccess_okay() says we don't have a valid context, just fail. Otherwise use current->mm.

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 reStructuredText 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.
