[RFC PATCH 05/28] mm: add per-VMA lock and helper functions to control it

Introduce a per-VMA rw_semaphore to be used during page fault handling
instead of mmap_lock. Because there are cases when multiple VMAs need
to be exclusively locked during VMA tree modifications, instead of the
usual lock/unlock patter we mark a VMA as locked by taking per-VMA lock
exclusively and setting vma->lock_seq to the current mm->lock_seq. When
mmap_write_lock holder is done with all modifications and drops mmap_lock,
it will increment mm->lock_seq, effectively unlocking all VMAs marked as
locked.
