[PATCH 1/2 -mm] mm: mremap: dwongrade mmap_sem to read when shrinking

[Yang Shi <yang.shi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Other than munmap, mremap might be used to shrink memory mapping too.
Use __do_munmap() to shrink mapping with downgrading mmap_sem to read.

MREMAP_FIXED and MREMAP_MAYMOVE are more complicated to adopt this
optimization since they need manipulate vmas after do_munmap(),
downgrading mmap_sem may create race window.

Simple mapping shrink is the low hanging fruit, and it may cover the
most cases of unmap with munmap.
