Add helper functions to speculatively perform operations without
read-locking mmap_lock, expecting that mmap_lock will not be
write-locked and mm is not modified from under us.

Changes since v1 [1]
- Changed to use new raw_seqcount_try_begin() API, per Peter Zijlstra
- Renamed mmap_lock_speculation_{begin|end} into
mmap_lock_speculate_{try_begin|retry}, per Peter Zijlstra
Note: the return value of mmap_lock_speculate_retry() is opposive to
what it was in mmap_lock_speculation_end(). true now means speculation failed.
