Subject: mm/khugepaged: unmap pte before releasing vma write lock
Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2026 13:25:04 -0600

We are currently dropping the anon_vma write lock before unmapping the
PTE.  Although this is safe, due to us still holding the mmap_write_lock,
its safer and less confusing to switch the order of these two operations.
