Subject: mempolicy: remove tasklist_lock from migrate_pages
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1e50df39f6e2c3a4a3394df62baa8a213df16c54;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

mempolicy: remove tasklist_lock from migrate_pages

Today, tasklist_lock in migrate_pages doesn't protect anything.
rcu_read_lock() provide enough protection from pid hash walk.
