Trinity reports BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/rwsem.c:47 in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 5787, name: trinity-c27 __might_sleep < down_write < __put_anon_vma < page_get_anon_vma < migrate_pages < compact_zone < compact_zone_order < try_to_compact_pages .. Right, since conversion to mutex then rwsem, we should not put_anon_vma() from inside an rcu_read_lock()ed section: fix the two places that did so. And add might_sleep() to anon_vma_free(), as suggested by Peter Zijlstra.
