Subject: [ 49/72] NOMMU: Lock i_mmap_mutex for access to the VMA prio list

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com>

commit 918e556ec214ed2f584e4cac56d7b29e4bb6bf27 upstream.

Lock i_mmap_mutex for access to the VMA prio list to prevent concurrent
access.  Currently, certain parts of the mmap handling are protected by
the region mutex, but not all.
