Both the anon vma lock and i_mmap_lock used to be spinlocks. Peter
turned them both into sleeping locks in this series:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/1/141
Later, Ingo turned the anon vma lock from an rwsem into a mutex
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/1/141) to permit a scalability fix
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/1/142).
Let's convince ourselves that we won't be undoing things which will
return to bite us?
