[PATCH] x86/mem_sharing: don't lock parent during fork reset

[Tamas K Lengyel <tamas.lengyel@xxxxxxxxx>]

During fork reset operation the parent domain doesn't need to be gathered using
rcu_lock_live_remote_domain_by_id as the fork reset doesn't modify anything on
the parent. The parent is also guaranteed to be paused while forks are active.
This patch reduces lock contention when performing resets in parallel.
