With my patch, there is nothing to change in arch-specific code.
Here it is again ...

Anybody calling do_munmap() will not get the lock dropped.

That can be introduced and then taken out ... indeed, you can split this into
many patches, starting with this:
+ if (tmp->vm_file)
+ downgrade = false;
to only allow this optimisation for anonymous mappings at first.

Only if you make the extra parameter mandatory.
