The VMA sequence count has been introduced to allow fast detection of
VMA modification when running a page fault handler without holding
the mmap_sem.
This patch provides protection against the VMA modification done in :
- madvise()
- mremap()
- mpol_rebind_policy()
- vma_replace_policy()
- change_prot_numa()
- mlock(), munlock()
- mprotect()
- mmap_region()
- collapse_huge_page()
- userfaultd registering services
In addition, VMA fields which will be read during the speculative fault
path needs to be written using WRITE_ONCE to prevent write to be split
and intermediate values to be pushed to other CPUs.
