Subject: [PATCH 5.10 109/152] mm: fix clear_refs_write locking

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>

[ Upstream commit 29a951dfb3c3263c3a0f3bd9f7f2c2cfde4baedb ]

Turning page table entries read-only requires the mmap_sem held for
writing.

So stop doing the odd games with turning things from read locks to write
locks and back.  Just get the write lock.
