Subject: [PATCH 27/41] mm/mmap: prevent pagefault handler from racing with
 mmu_notifier registration

Page fault handlers might need to fire MMU notifications while a new
notifier is being registered. Modify mm_take_all_locks to write-lock all
VMAs and prevent this race with fault handlers that would hold VMA locks.
VMAs are locked before i_mmap_rwsem and anon_vma to keep the same
locking order as in page fault handlers.
