Afaict it's not only an "current->mm can be NULL" issue - because this flag is
used to mark "whether the mm pinned any page", so for remote pinning we
definitely should mark the remote mm rather than the current mm, simply because
it's the target mm page table that we'd want to stablize rather than the
current->mm (even if current->mm always existed).

Thanks!  And sorry for this silly mistake.  I even didn't understand how it was
written, because the normal gup change should have come earlier, anyway...
