Subject: [PATCH v3 2/8] binder: concurrent page installation

Allow multiple callers to install pages simultaneously by downgrading
the mmap_sem to non-exclusive mode. Races to the same PTE are handled
using get_user_pages_remote() to retrieve the already installed page.
This method significantly reduces contention in the mmap semaphore.

To ensure safety, vma_lookup() is used (instead of alloc->vma) to avoid
operating on an isolated VMA. In addition, zap_page_range_single() is
called under the alloc->mutex to avoid racing with the shrinker.

Many thanks to Barry Song who posted a similar approach [1].
