Subject: [PATCH] mm->rss is modified without page_table_lock held

Hi.

The following patch moves the page_table_lock in mm/* to cover the
modification of mm->rss in 240-test12-pre7. It was inspired by a 
similar patch from davej(?) which covered too much, AFAIR. The item 
is on Tytso's ToDo list.

Please comment.
