In the case of the spf handler, we check that the vma->anon_vma is not null.
So __anon_vma_prepare(vma) is never called in the context of the SPF handler.

In theory there is no risk there, because if the vma->vm_flags have changed in
our back, the locking of the pte will prevent concurrent update of the pte's
values.
So if a mprotect() call is occuring in parallel, once the vm_flags have been
touched, the pte needs to be modified and this requires the pte lock to be
held. So this will happen after we have revalidated the vma and locked the pte.
This being said, that sounds better to deal with the vmf->vma_flags when the
vmf structure is available so I'll apply the following.
