Holding mmap_sem for *read* is OK since you can handle page faults
underneath it.  Holding it for write is not.

But, holding it for read also locks out the writers which might be
messing with vm_file or other parts of the VMA.

Holding it for read for a long time is OK.  It's obviously not ideal,
but it is something we do widely today.
