In vm_area_dup, *orig is being concurrently modified while being
copied into *new.

We wanted to get feedback on what is happening here, as it didn't seem
straightforward to dismiss on our side.

Is it correct to assume that, the parts of the *orig struct that are
being modified while being copied, will subsequently be re-initialized
for *new?

If no explicit markings are useful (READ_ONCE would suppress it, but
seems strange if the above assumption is true), I will think of a way
to suppress these for now and no further action is needed here.

Many thanks,
