Hmmmm? I can't find a sequence where inode_lock is taken after mmap_lock.
lockdep was complaining about taking mmap_lock after i_rwsem in the above code.
I assumed there was such a sequence somewhere. Might need to go back and get
another trace/warning.
In any case, I think the scheme below is much cleaner. Doing another round of
benchmarking before sending.
