Subject: [RFC PATCH RESEND 17/28] mm/mmap: prevent pagefault handler from
 racing with mmu_notifier registration

Pagefault handlers might need to fire MMU notifications while a new
notifier is being registered. Modify mm_take_all_locks to mark all VMAs
as locked and prevent this race with fault handlers that would hold VMA
locks.
