Subject: mm/mmu_notifier: fix mmget() assert in __mmu_interval_notifier_insert

The comment talks about having to hold mmget() (which means mm_users), but
the actual check is on mm_count (which would be mmgrab()).

Given that MMU notifiers are torn down in mmput() -> __mmput() ->
exit_mmap() -> mmu_notifier_release(), I believe that the comment is
correct and the check should be on mm->mm_users.  Fix it up accordingly.
