Thanks! I am resending this series with your acks applies.

Plus another patche which was already acked but ignored anyway ;)

Oh, this needs much more cleanups. Imo the whole VM_LOCKED logic in these
paths is ugly and confusing. move_vma() shouldn't look at VM_LOCKED at all,
mremap_to() should not duplicate the vma_to_resize/move_vma code, etc.
