gru: fix potential use-after-free when purging GRU tlbs
Fix potential SGI GRU bug that could cause a use-after-free. If one thread in a task is flushing the GRU and another thread destroys the GRU context, there is the potential to access a table after it has been freed. Copy the gms pointer to a local variable before unlocking the gts table. Note that no refcnt is needed for the gms - the reference is held indirectly by the task's mm_struct.
