Subject: mm/madvise: fixup stray mmap lock assert in anon_vma_name()
Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2025 13:28:36 +0100

anon_vma_name() is being called under VMA lock, but is assert mmap lock which
won't necessarily be held.

This results in the kernel spamming warnings about this on startup.

Replace this with an open-coded 'mmap or VMA lock' assert to resolve.
