When page fault is handled under per-VMA lock protection, all swap page
faults are retried with mmap_lock because folio_lock_or_retry has to drop
and reacquire mmap_lock if folio could not be immediately locked.
Follow the same pattern as mmap_lock to drop per-VMA lock when waiting
for folio and retrying once folio is available.
With this obstacle removed, enable do_swap_page to operate under
per-VMA lock protection. Drivers implementing ops->migrate_to_ram might
still rely on mmap_lock, therefore we have to fall back to mmap_lock in
that particular case.
Note that the only time do_swap_page calls synchronous swap_readpage
is when SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO is set, which is only set for
QUEUE_FLAG_SYNCHRONOUS devices: brd, zram and nvdimms (both btt and
pmem). Therefore we don't sleep in this path, and there's no need to
drop the mmap or per-VMA lock.
