Subject: [PATCH v6 10/16] mm: replace vm_lock and detached flag with a
 reference count

rw_semaphore is a sizable structure of 40 bytes and consumes
considerable space for each vm_area_struct. However vma_lock has
two important specifics which can be used to replace rw_semaphore
with a simpler structure:
1. Readers never wait. They try to take the vma_lock and fall back to
mmap_lock if that fails.
2. Only one writer at a time will ever try to write-lock a vma_lock
because writers first take mmap_lock in write mode.
Because of these requirements, full rw_semaphore functionality is not
needed and we can replace rw_semaphore and the vma->detached flag with
a refcount (vm_refcnt).
When vma is in detached state, vm_refcnt is 0 and only a call to
vma_mark_attached() can take it out of this state. Note that unlike
before, now we enforce both vma_mark_attached() and vma_mark_detached()
to be done only after vma has been write-locked. vma_mark_attached()
changes vm_refcnt to 1 to indicate that it has been attached to the vma
tree. When a reader takes read lock, it increments vm_refcnt, unless the
top usable bit of vm_refcnt (0x40000000) is set, indicating presence of
a writer. When writer takes write lock, it both increments vm_refcnt and
sets the top usable bit to indicate its presence. If there are readers,
writer will wait using newly introduced mm->vma_writer_wait. Since all
writers take mmap_lock in write mode first, there can be only one writer
at a time. The last reader to release the lock will signal the writer
to wake up.
refcount might overflow if there are many competing readers, in which case
read-locking will fail. Readers are expected to handle such failures.
