[PATCH] rmaplock: mm lock ordering
With page_map_lock out of the way, there's no need for page_referenced and
try_to_unmap to use trylocks - provided we switch anon_vma->lock and
mm->page_table_lock around in anon_vma_prepare. Though I suppose it's
possible that we'll find that vmscan makes better progress with trylocks than
spinning - we're free to choose trylocks again if so.
Try to update the mm lock ordering documentation in filemap.c. But I still
find it confusing, and I've no idea of where to stop. So add an mm lock
ordering list I can understand to rmap.c.
