This doesn't work because we're copying between two different
mm_struct's.  Since we can't have both active at the same time, we
need to setup some sort of temporary mapping.

I could maybe check the vma boundaries and create new pages in the
kernel, but I still need to assign them to the process space to make
them swappable.  Since some binfmt's remove args, I'll also
potentially need to reload old pages, which means copy_strings() will
still need to call get_user_pages() to retrieve potentially swapped
out pages.
