Potentially apply_mlockall_flags() and not userfaultfd_release(). There
is a potential that the vma iterator is stale if a split/merge succeeds,

config below. I've sent a patch for the mlockall issue after Qian Cai's
reported it to linux-mm.

That is the correct line according to the git tree and HEAD commit
listed above.

I cannot get this issue to trigger with the given tree and git repo with
my config.  I will try again with the kernel config above.

Thanks,
