binfmt_elf: take the mmap lock around find_extend_vma()
create_elf_tables() runs after setup_new_exec(), so other tasks can already access our new mm and do things like process_madvise() on it. (At the time I'm writing this commit, process_madvise() is not in mainline yet, but has been in akpm's tree for some time.) While I believe that there are currently no APIs that would actually allow another process to mess up our VMA tree (process_madvise() is limited to MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT, and uring and userfaultfd cannot reach an mm under which no syscalls have been executed yet), this seems like an accident waiting to happen. Let's make sure that we always take the mmap lock around GUP paths as long as another process might be able to see the mm. (Yes, this diff looks suspicious because we drop the lock before doing anything with `vma`, but that's because we actually don't do anything with it apart from the NULL check.)
