[PATCH v3 12/35] mm: add per-VMA lock and helper functions to control it

[Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@google.com>]

Introduce per-VMA locking. The lock implementation relies on a
per-vma and per-mm sequence counters to note exclusive locking:
  - read lock - (implemented by vma_start_read) requires the vma
    (vm_lock_seq) and mm (mm_lock_seq) sequence counters to differ.
    If they match then there must be a vma exclusive lock held somewhere.
  - read unlock - (implemented by vma_end_read) is a trivial vma->lock
    unlock.
  - write lock - (vma_start_write) requires the mmap_lock to be held
    exclusively and the current mm counter is assigned to the vma counter.
    This will allow multiple vmas to be locked under a single mmap_lock
    write lock (e.g. during vma merging). The vma counter is modified
    under exclusive vma lock.
  - write unlock - (vma_end_write_all) is a batch release of all vma
    locks held. It doesn't pair with a specific vma_start_write! It is
    done before exclusive mmap_lock is released by incrementing mm
    sequence counter (mm_lock_seq).
  - write downgrade - if the mmap_lock is downgraded to the read lock, all
    vma write locks are released as well (effectivelly same as write
    unlock).
