Suren Baghdasaryan 2ac0af1b66 mm: fall back to mmap_lock if vma->anon_vma is not yet set
When vma->anon_vma is not set, page fault handler will set it by either
reusing anon_vma of an adjacent VMA if VMAs are compatible or by
allocating a new one.  find_mergeable_anon_vma() walks VMA tree to find a
compatible adjacent VMA and that requires not only the faulting VMA to be
stable but also the tree structure and other VMAs inside that tree. 
Therefore locking just the faulting VMA is not enough for this search. 
Fall back to taking mmap_lock when vma->anon_vma is not set.  This
situation happens only on the first page fault and should not affect
overall performance.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
