Queued for safekeeping on -rcu.  I had to adjust a bit to get it to
apply on -rcu, please see below.  In my experience, git should have
no trouble figuring it out.  ;-)

    vm_area_dup() blindly copies all fields of original VMA to the new one.
    This includes coping vm_area_struct::shared.rb which is normally
    protected by i_mmap_lock. But this is fine because the read value will
    be overwritten on the following __vma_link_file() under proper
    protection. Thus, mark it as an intentional data race and insert a few
    assertions for the fields that should not be modified concurrently.
