Subject: [PATCH v3 16/35] mm/mmap: write-lock VMAs before merging, splitting
 or expanding them

Decisions about whether VMAs can be merged, split or expanded must be
made while VMAs are protected from the changes which can affect that
decision. For example, merge_vma uses vma->anon_vma in its decision
whether the VMA can be merged. Meanwhile, page fault handler changes
vma->anon_vma during COW operation.
Write-lock all VMAs which might be affected by a merge or split operation
before making decision how such operations should be performed.
