Add an ioctl that updates all DMA mappings to reflect the current process, Change the mm and transfer locked memory accounting from old to current mm. This will be used for live update, allowing an old process to hand the iommufd device descriptor to a new process. The new process calls the ioctl. IOMMU_IOAS_CHANGE_PROCESS only supports DMA mappings created with IOMMU_IOAS_MAP_FILE, because the kernel metadata for such mappings does not depend on the userland VA of the pages (which is different in the new process). IOMMU_IOAS_CHANGE_PROCESS fails if other types of mappings are present. This is a revised version of code originally provided by Jason.

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.
