Subject: [PATCH 11/29] mm: rcu safe vma freeing
Date:   Fri, 30 Apr 2021 12:52:12 -0700

This prepares for speculative page faults looking up and copying vmas
under protection of an rcu read lock, instead of the usual mmap read lock.

Note - it might also be feasible to just use SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU when
creating the vm_area_cachep, but that's probably too subtle to consider here.
