This should move up before find_extend_vma, otherwise the vma used
below could be a dangling pointer after the "goto retry".

It'd look cleaner if we'd move the tsk update after the retry check in
case the FAULT_FLAG_TRIED second attempt actually fails, to avoid
recording a fault for a non-really-faulting VM_FAULT_RETRY
attempt. This is what the real page fault does at least so it sounds
cleaner do the same here, but then in practice it makes very little
difference.

Rest looks great.
The futex.c should be patched to pass the unlocked pointer in a later
patch but we can also postpone it to a different patchset.
Thanks,
