Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] mm/migration: reduce the rcu lock duration
Date:   Mon, 25 Apr 2022 21:27:20 +0800

rcu_read_lock is required by grabbing the task refcount but it's not
needed for ptrace_may_access. So we could release the rcu lock after
task refcount is successfully grabbed to reduce the rcu holding time.
