Alexander Beregalov and Alex Xu reported similar bugs and Hillf Danton
identified that commit 5a505085 (mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex
to an rwsem) and commit 4fc3f1d6 (mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon()
and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable) were likely the problem. Reverting
these commits was reported to solve the problem for Alexander.

Despite the reason for these commits, NUMA balancing is not the direct
source of the problem. split_huge_page() expects the anon_vma lock to be
exclusive to serialise the whole split operation. Ordinarily it is expected
that the anon_vma lock would only be required when updating the avcs but
THP also uses the anon_vma rwsem for collapse and split operations where
the page lock or compound lock cannot be used (as the page is changing
from base to THP or vice versa) and the page table locks are
insufficient.

This patch takes the anon_vma lock for write to serialise against parallel
split_huge_page as THP expected before the conversion to rwsem.
