[PATCH 3/3] powerpc/oprofile: reduce mmap_sem hold for exe_file

In the future mm->exe_file will be done without mmap_sem
serialization, thus isolate and reorganize the related
code to make the transition easier. Good users will, make
use of the more standard get_mm_exe_file(), requiring only
holding the mmap_sem to read the value, and relying on reference
counting to make sure that the exe file won't dissappear
underneath us while getting the dcookie.
