Subject: [RFC PATCH 15/37] mm: implement speculative handling in do_anonymous_page()

Change do_anonymous_page() to handle the speculative case.
This involves aborting speculative faults if they have to allocate a new
anon_vma, and using pte_map_lock() instead of pte_offset_map_lock()
to complete the page fault.
