[PATCH V2 2/6] cxl: Keep track of mm struct associated with a context

Another thought about that patch. Now that we keep track of the mm 
associated to a context, I think we can simplify slightly the function 
_cxl_slbia() in main.c, where we look for the mm based on the pid. We 
now have the information readily available.

> The reference (use count) on the struct mm is not kept to avoid a
