From: Maor Gottlieb <maorg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
When the driver disassociate user context, it changes the vma to
anonymous by setting the vm_ops to null and zap the vma ptes.
In order to avoid race in the kernel, we need to take write lock
before we change the vma entries.
Fixes: 7c2344c3bbf97 ('IB/mlx5: Implements disassociate_ucontext API')
