Is create_elf_tables() taking mm->mmap_sem when it's initialising env_start/end?

I could reproduce it on x86_64 as well, just by doing exec in loop
and "ps afx" in other window:

------------------------------------------
# cat a.sh b.sh go.sh 
#!/bin/sh
exec ./b.sh skajsdlakj leakj slekj alkse j

#!/bin/sh
exec ./a.sh ere rwer 23 r23 23r2 rwrd 23r 

#!/bin/sh
for i in `seq 1 50`; do
        sh ./a.sh &
done
------------------------------------------
In window 1: ./go.sh
In window 2: while [ True ]; do ps afx > /dev/null; done
