The MTE coredump code in arch/arm64/kernel/elfcore.c iterates over the vma list without the mmap_lock held. This can race with another process or userfaultfd concurrently modifying the vma list. Change the for_each_mte_vma macro and its callers to instead use the vma snapshot taken by dump_vma_snapshot() and stored in the cprm object.
