mm: add per-VMA lock and helper functions to control it
Introduce per-VMA locking. The lock implementation relies on a per-vma
and per-mm sequence counters to note exclusive locking:
- read lock - (implemented by vma_start_read) requires the vma
(vm_lock_seq) and mm (mm_lock_seq) sequence counters to differ.
If they match then there must be a vma exclusive lock held somewhere.
- read unlock - (implemented by vma_end_read) is a trivial vma->lock
unlock.
- write lock - (vma_start_write) requires the mmap_lock to be held
exclusively and the current mm counter is assigned to the vma counter.
This will allow multiple vmas to be locked under a single mmap_lock
write lock (e.g. during vma merging). The vma counter is modified
under exclusive vma lock.
- write unlock - (vma_end_write_all) is a batch release of all vma
locks held. It doesn't pair with a specific vma_start_write! It is
done before exclusive mmap_lock is released by incrementing mm
sequence counter (mm_lock_seq).
- write downgrade - if the mmap_lock is downgraded to the read lock, all
vma write locks are released as well (effectivelly same as write
unlock).
