mm: reduce atomic use on use_mm fast path

Browse Source 
When the mm being switched to matches the active mm, we don't need to
increment and then drop the mm count.  In a simple benchmark this happens
in about 50% of time.  Making that conditional reduces contention on that
cacheline on SMP systems.
