Uh yes. In drivers/gpu this isn't a problem because we only install
ptes from the vm_ops->fault handler. So no races. And I don't think
you can fix this otherwise through holding locks: mmap_sem we can't
hold because before vma_link we don't even know which mm_struct is
involved, so can't solve the race. Plus this would be worse that
mm_take_all_locks used by mmu notifier. And the address_space
i_mmap_lock is also no good since it's not held during the ->mmap
callback, when we write the ptes. And the resource locks is even less
useful, since we're not going to hold that at vma_link() time for
sure.

Hence delaying the pte writes after the vma_link, which means ->fault
time, looks like the only way to close this gap.

Trouble is I have no idea how to do this cleanly ...
