[PATCH v3 04/10] mm: Handle PUD faults under the VMA lock

["Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org>]

Postpone checking the VMA_LOCK flag until we've attempted to handle
faults on PUDs.  There's a mild upside to this patch in that we'll
allocate the page tables while under the VMA lock rather than the mmap
lock, reducing the hold time on the mmap lock, since the retry will find
the page tables already populated.  The real purpose here is to make a
commit that shows we don't call ->huge_fault under the VMA lock.  We do
now handle setting the accessed bit on a PUD fault under the VMA lock,
but that doesn't seem likely to be a measurable difference.
