KUnit test cases run on kthreads, and kthreads don't have an adddress space (current->mm is NULL), but processes have mm.
The purpose of this patch is to allow to borrow mm to KUnit kthread after userspace is brought up, because we know that there are processes running, at least the process that loaded the module to borrow mm.
This allows, for example, tests such as user_copy_kunit, which uses vm_mmap, which needs current->mm.
