Move "exit_robust_list" into mm_release()
We don't want to get rid of the futexes just at exit() time, we want to drop them when doing an execve() too, since that gets rid of the previous VM image too. Doing it at mm_release() time means that we automatically always do it when we disassociate a VM map from the task.
