Brice Goglin 80bba1290a mm: no get_user/put_user while holding mmap_sem in do_pages_stat? 
Since commit 2f007e74bb, do_pages_stat()
gets the page address from user-space and puts the corresponding status
back while holding the mmap_sem for read.  There is no need to hold
mmap_sem there while some page-faults may occur.

This patch adds a temporary address and status buffer so as to only
hold mmap_sem while working on these kernel buffers.  This is
implemented by extracting do_pages_stat_array() out of do_pages_stat().
