Subject: [PATCH] [4/16] POISON: Export some rmap vma locking to outside world


Needed for later patch that walks rmap entries on its own.

This used to be very frowned upon, but memory-failure.c does
some rather specialized rmap walking and rmap has been stable
for quite some time, so I think it's ok now to export it.
