vfio: remove useless judgement
In function vfio_dma_do_unmap(), we currently prevent process to unmap vfio dma region whose mm_struct is different from the vfio_dma->task. In our virtual machine scenario which is using kvm and qemu, this judgement stops us from liveupgrading our qemu, which uses fork() && exec() to load the new binary but the new process cannot do the VFIO_IOMMU_UNMAP_DMA action during vm exit because of this judgement. This judgement is added in commit 8f0d5bb9 ("vfio iommu type1: Add task structure to vfio_dma") for the security reason. But it seems that no other task who has no family relationship with old and new process can get the same vfio_dma struct here for the reason of resource isolation. So this patch delete it.
