s390/mm: Fix potential use-after-free in __crst_table_upgrade()
The pointer to the mm_struct which is passed to __crst_table_upgrade() may
only be dereferenced if it is identical to current->active_mm. Otherwise
the current task has no reference to the mm_struct and it may already be
freed. In such a case this would result in a use-after-free bug.
Make sure this use-after-free scenario does not happen by moving the code,
which dereferences the mm_struct pointer, after the check which verifies
that the pointer is identical to current->active_mm, like it was before
lazy ASCE handling was reimplemented.
