Subject: mm/rmap: synchronize lock and unlock target in anon_vma_clone
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 15:30:51 +0900

Currently, in anon_vma_clone(), src vma's anon_vma is assigned to
active_anon_vma and is used when unlocking anon_vma after linking new
AVCs.  However, the anon_vma is locked using src->anon_vma, instead of
active_anon_vma, making the lock and unlock target inconsistent.

Use active_anon_vma for both locking and unlocking.
