The ordering of the printed messages from the mmap_lock trace can occur
out of order. This results in confusing trace logs such as:
task cpu atomic counter: message
---------------------------------------------
task-749 [006] .... 14437980: mmap_lock_acquire_returned: mm=00000000c94d28b8 memcg_path= write=true success=true
task-750 [007] .... 14437981: mmap_lock_acquire_returned: mm=00000000c94d28b8 memcg_path= write=true success=true
task-749 [006] .... 14437983: mmap_lock_released: mm=00000000c94d28b8 memcg_path= write=true
When the actual series of evens are as follows:
task-749 [006] mmap_lock_acquire_returned: mm=00000000c94d28b8 memcg_path= write=true success=true
task-749 [006] mmap_lock_released: mm=00000000c94d28b8 memcg_path= write=true
task-750 [007] mmap_lock_acquire_returned: mm=00000000c94d28b8 memcg_path= write=true success=true
The incorrect ordering of the trace log happens because the release log
is outside of the lock itself. The ordering can be guaranteed by
protecting the acquire success and release trace logs by the lock.
