Basically copied the existing code in to these functions
(vas_reference_pid_mm/vas_drop_reference_pid_mm) so that useful for
both platforms. 

mm_context_add/remove_vas_window() is also like taking reference. So
instead of adding 2 seperate functions, how about naming
get/put_vas_user_win_ref() 

Regarding tgid, the reference is taking only with pid, but not tgid.
pid reuse can happen only in the case of multithread applications when
the child that opened VAS window exits. But these windows will be
closed when tgid exists. So do not need tgid reference.
