The vm_flags of vma already checked under per-VMA lock, if it is a
bad access, directly set fault to VM_FAULT_BADACCESS and handle error,
no need to lock_mm_and_find_vma() and check vm_flags again, the latency
time reduce 34% in lmbench 'lat_sig -P 1 prot lat_sig'.

The change makes sense to me. Per-VMA lock is enough to keep
vma->vm_flags stable, so no need to retry with mmap_lock.

nit: VMA_LOCK_SUCCESS accounting here seems correct to me but
unrelated to the main change. Either splitting into a separate patch
or mentioning this additional fixup in the changelog would be helpful.

The above nit applies to all the patches after this one, so I won't
comment on each one separately. If you decide to split or adjust the
changelog please do that for each patch.

I will update the change log for each patch, thank for your review and suggestion.
