But you only do that teardown on ->release, right? And ->release
doesn't have much to do with the process lifetime.
Yes, only on ->relase().
OK, so I reworked the files struct to just grab it, then we ensure that
doesn't go away. For mm, it's a bit more tricky. I think the best
solution here is to add a fops->flush() and check for the process
exiting its files. If it does, we quiesce the async contexts and prevent
further use of that mm. We can't just keep holding a reference to the mm
like we do with the files.

That should solve both cases.
