copy_remote_vm_str() gets the target address space from a struct
task_struct. This does not work for an address space that exists but is
not yet associated with a task_struct, such as the mm held by struct
linux_binprm during exec.

This patch adds copy_remote_mm_str(), which operates directly on a struct
mm_struct.
