From: Andres Lagar-Cavilla <andreslc@xxxxxxxxxx>

Include a small treatise on the locking rules around page teams.

Cc'ed to kvm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as an FYI: this patch is not expected to
go into the tree in the next few weeks, and depends upon a pageteam.h
not yet available outside this patchset.  The context is a huge tmpfs
patchset which implements huge pagecache transparently on tmpfs,
using a team of small pages rather than one compound page:
please refer to linux-mm or linux-kernel for more context.
