Fix the race between the truncation of a ramfs file and an attempt to make a
shared mmap of region of that file.

The problem is that do_mmap_pgoff() calls f_op->get_unmapped_area() to verify
that the file region is made of contiguous pages and to find its base address -
but there isn't any locking to guarantee this region until
vma_prio_tree_insert() is called by add_vma_to_mm().

Note that moving the functionality into f_op->mmap() doesn't help as that is
also called before vma_prio_tree_insert().

Instead make ramfs_nommu_check_mappings() grab nommu_region_sem whilst it does
its checks.  This means that this function will wait whilst mmaps take place.
