In a fork scenario, the parent and child can have same virtual address and
also share the uverbs fd. That causes to the list_for_each_entry search
return same doorbell physical page for all processes, even though that
page has been COW' or copied.
This patch takes the mm_struct into consideration during search, to make
sure that VA's belonging to different processes are not intermixed.
Resolves the malfunction of uverbs after fork in some specific cases.

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.
