I'm supposed before accessing anon_vma, VMA need to be found by 
find_vma() first, right? But, finding VMA need hold mmap_sem, once 
detach VMAs is called, others should not be able to find the VMAs 
anymore. So, the anon_vma should not be reachable except the munmap caller.

I'm still traveling, will definitely look into it further once I'm back.
