walk_page_range() and friends often operate under write-locked mmap_lock.
With introduction of vma locks, the vmas have to be locked as well during
such walks to prevent concurrent page faults in these areas. Add an
additional member to mm_walk_ops to indicate locking requirements for the
walk.
The change ensures that page walks which prevent concurrent page faults
by write-locking mmap_lock, operate correctly after introduction of
per-vma locks. With per-vma locks page faults can be handled under vma
lock without taking mmap_lock at all, so write locking mmap_lock would
not stop them. The change ensures vmas are properly locked during such
walks.
A sample issue this solves is do_mbind() performing queue_pages_range()
to queue pages for migration. Without this change a concurrent page
can be faulted into the area and be left out of migration.
