vhost_vsock_stop() calls vhost_dev_check_owner() to check the device
ownership. It expects current->mm to be valid.

vhost_vsock_stop() is also called by vhost_vsock_dev_release() when
the user has not done close(), so when we are in do_exit(). In this
case current->mm is invalid and we're releasing the device, so we
should clean it anyway.

Let's check the owner only when vhost_vsock_stop() is called
by an ioctl.

I don't think this patch fixes "INFO: task hung in vhost_work_dev_flush"
even though syzbot says so. I am able to reproduce the issue locally
even with this patch applied.
Are you using the sysbot reproducer or another test?
In that case, can you share it?

 From the stack trace it seemed to me that the worker accesses a zone 
that has been cleaned (iotlb), so it is invalid and fails.
That's why I had this patch tested which should stop the worker before 
cleaning.

Thanks,
Stefano
