memcg: fix possible panic when CONFIG_MM_OWNER=y
When mm destruction happens, we should pass mm_update_next_owner() the old mm. But unfortunately new mm is passed in exec_mmap(). Thus, kernel panic is possible when a multi-threaded process uses exec(). Also, the owner member comment description is wrong. mm->owner does not necessarily point to the thread group leader.
