Since you're asking, here's my bikeshed. I kinda agree _state looks a bit
strange for this, what about a _link suffix in the spirit of

	struct list_head link;

The other common name is "node", but I think that's confusing in the
context of mm code. The purpose of this struct is to link everything
together (and yes it carries also some state, but the main job is to link
a mm_struct to a mmu_notifier). At least for me a _state is configuration
state for a specific object, not something that links a bunch of things
together. But I'm biased on this, since we use that pattern in drm for all
the display state tracking.

Also feel free to ignore my bikeshed :-)

Aside from this I think the proposed names are a solid improvement.
