How do we know that the VMA we find triggered a software breakpoint?
Between the time a software breakpoint was hit and the time we took
the mmap_read_lock(), the VMA could have been replaced with an
entirely different one, right?
I don't know this code well, and your change looks like it's probably
fine (since the file is just used to look up its inode in some tree,
and therefore for incompatible files, the lookup is guaranteed to fail
and nothing will happen). But I think the commit message looks dodgy.
