[PATCH 2/6] mm: Call wp_page_copy() under the VMA lock

["Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is usually safe to call wp_page_copy() under the VMA lock.  The only
unsafe situation is when no anon_vma has been allocated for this VMA,
and we have to look at adjacent VMAs to determine if their anon_vma can
be shared.  Since this happens only for the first COW of a page in this
VMA, the majority of calls to wp_page_copy() do not need to fall back
to the mmap_sem.

Add vmf_anon_prepare() as an alternative to anon_vma_prepare() which
will return RETRY if we currently hold the VMA lock and need to allocate
an anon_vma.  This lets us drop the check in do_wp_page().
