Hey, we can go a bit further by using something like pahole's
--expand_types and --expand_pointers and play iterating a type members
and looking for locks, like:

⬢[acme@toolbox pahole]$ pahole task_struct | grep spinlock_t
	spinlock_t                 alloc_lock;           /*  3280     4 */
	raw_spinlock_t             pi_lock;              /*  3284     4 */
	seqcount_spinlock_t        mems_allowed_seq;     /*  3616     4 */
⬢[acme@toolbox pahole]$

Expand points will find mmap_lock:

⬢[acme@toolbox pahole]$ pahole --expand_pointers -C task_struct | grep -B10 mmap_lock
								} *pgd;
								atomic_t                       membarrier_state;
								atomic_t                       mm_users;
								atomic_t                       mm_count;

								/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

								atomic_long_t                  pgtables_bytes;
								int                            map_count;
								spinlock_t                     page_table_lock;
								struct rw_semaphore                          mmap_lock;
^C
⬢[acme@toolbox pahole]$


ITs just too much expansion to see task_struct->mm, but it is there, of
course:

⬢[acme@toolbox pahole]$ pahole mm_struct | grep mmap_lock
		struct rw_semaphore mmap_lock;           /*   120    40 */
⬢[acme@toolbox pahole]$

Also:

⬢[acme@toolbox pahole]$ pahole --contains rw_semaphore
address_space
signal_struct
key
inode
super_block
quota_info
user_namespace
blocking_notifier_head
backing_dev_info
anon_vma
tty_struct
