Hmm, you are right. Page fault handlers do not use per-vma locks yet
but the changelog already talks about that. Maybe I should change it
to simply:
```
Move VMA flag modification (which now implies VMA locking) before
vma_adjust_trans_huge() to ensure the modifications are done after VMA
has been locked.
```
Is that better?
