When munmapping a vma, the mmap_lock can be degraded to a write before calling close() on the file handle. The binder close() function calls binder_alloc_set_vma() to clear the vma address, which now has a lock dep check for writing on the mmap_lock. Change the lockdep check to ensure the reading lock is held while clearing and keep the write check while writing.
