Yeah, I guess that's an option if that's at all possible (we might need
to iterate over the list in the mmu notifier, for example).
The other option is to
*) get rid of the GGTT / PPGTT sorting of vmas in the list,
*) being able to determine per vma *before we unlock* if we need to
unlock the list spinlock to take action,
*) re-add all vmas we've previously iterated over at the *tail* of the
list before unlocking the list lock.
Then a termination criterion for iterating would be that we reached the
end of the list without unlocking. Otherwise we need to restart
iteration after unlocking.
This would typically give us O(2N) complexity for the iteration. If we
re-add at the *head* of the list, we'd see O(N²), but to be able to re-
add previous vmas to the tail of the list requires us to get rid of the
sorting.

Thanks for reviewing. I noticed there is some documentation needing
updating as well, so I'll send out a v3 without functional changes.
