This series contains a few patches to remove unneeded lock page and PageMovable check, reduce the rcu lock duration. Also we fix potential pte_unmap on an not mapped pte. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 4): rcu_read_lock is required by grabbing the task refcount but it's not needed for ptrace_may_access. So we could release the rcu lock after task refcount is successfully grabbed to reduce the rcu holding time.
