Here's a totally untested patch to convert the anon vma lock to an
rwlock_t.
I think its lack of modern queueing will hurt on big systems big time - it
might even regress. But ... it's hard to tell such things in advance.
[ That might as well be for the better as it will eventually be fixed,
which in turn will improve tasklist_lock workloads ;-) ]
Thanks,
Ingo
