[PATCH v2 22/33] mm/mmap: prevent pagefault handler from racing with mmu_notifier registration

Page fault handlers might need to fire MMU notifications while a new
notifier is being registered. Modify mm_take_all_locks to write-lock all
VMAs and prevent this race with page fault handlers that would hold VMA
locks. VMAs are locked before i_mmap_rwsem and anon_vma to keep the same
locking order as in page fault handlers.
