This seems to be pretty much identical to the previous report, which we
concluded was benign [0].

I think I'll send a patch to add a data_race() annotation nto the read-side.

WRITE: VMA under mmap read lock, page_table_lock:

	vma->anon_vma = anon_vma;

READ: VMA under VMA read lock:

	if (likely(vma->anon_vma))
		return 0;

It's benign because if we race here we'd just recheck in __anon_vma_prepare()
and the mm->page_table_lock would serialise for us.
