It seems very subtle, but under the covers this calls
handle_mm_fault() with FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY which will cause the
mmap sem to become unlocked along the -EAGAIN return path.
I think without the commit message I wouldn't have been able to
understand that, so Christoph, could you also add the comment below
please?
Otherwise
