Hmm. Actually, we can drop the rcu_read_lock as soon as we've acquire
the local ref to ctx->vm. So something like,

        if (!rcu_access_pointer(ctx->vm))
                return -ENODEV;

-       err = -ENODEV;
        rcu_read_lock();
        vm = context_get_vm_rcu(ctx);
-       if (vm)
-               err = xa_alloc(&file_priv->vm_xa, &id, vm,
-                              xa_limit_32b, GFP_KERNEL);
        rcu_read_unlock();
+       if (!vm)
+               return -ENODEV;
+
+       err = xa_alloc(&file_priv->vm_xa, &id, vm,
+                      xa_limit_32b, GFP_KERNEL);
        if (err)
                goto err_put;

would work.
