Subject: [PATCH] omap_vout: find_vma() needs ->mmap_sem held

	Walking rbtree while it's modified is a Bad Idea(tm); besides,
the result of find_vma() can be freed just as it's getting returned
to caller.  Fortunately, it's easy to fix - just take ->mmap_sem a bit
earlier (and don't bother with find_vma() at all if virtp >= PAGE_OFFSET -
in that case we don't even look at its result).
