oprofile: reduce mmap_sem hold for mm->exe_file
sync_buffer() needs the mmap_sem for two distinct operations, both only occurring upon user context switch handling: 1) Dealing with the exe_file. 2) Adding the dcookie data as we need to lookup the vma that backs it. This is done via add_sample() and add_data(). This patch isolates 1), for it will no longer need the mmap_sem for serialization. However, for now, make of the more standard get_mm_exe_file(), requiring only holding the mmap_sem to read the value, and relying on reference counting to make sure that the exe file won't dissappear underneath us while doing the get dcookie. As a consequence, for 2) we move the mmap_sem locking into where we really need it, in lookup_dcookie(). The benefits are twofold: reduce mmap_sem hold times, and cleaner code.
