Cyclic headers dependencies... :(

anon_vma_lock protects all anon pages on vma against splitting.
i_mmap_mutex protects shared pages. None pages can be on both sides, but
MAP_PRIVATE file vma can have both anon and shared pages.
As an option we can lookup for struct page with pmd_page(), check
PageAnon() and serialize only relevant lock, but...
Original macro, in fact, guarantees that *all* pages on the vma is not
splitting, not only the pages pmd is poinging on. PageAnon() check will
change semantics a bit. It shouldn't be a problem, but who knows.
Do you want me to add the check?
