This patch fixes this warning by acquiring read lock before entering
untrack_pfn() while write lock is not held.

syzbot has tested the proposed patch and the reproducer did not
trigger any issue.

Syzbot reported the following warning in follow_pte():

WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 5192 at include/linux/rwsem.h:195 rwsem_assert_held include/linux/rwsem.h:195 [inline]
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 5192 at include/linux/rwsem.h:195 mmap_assert_locked include/linux/mmap_lock.h:65 [inline]
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 5192 at include/linux/rwsem.h:195 follow_pte+0x414/0x4c0 mm/memory.c:5980

This is because we are assuming that mm->mmap_lock should be held when
entering follow_pte(). This is added in commit c5541ba378e3 (mm:
follow_pte() improvements).

However, in the following call stack, we are not acquring the lock:
follow_phys arch/x86/mm/pat/memtype.c:957 [inline]
get_pat_info+0xf2/0x510 arch/x86/mm/pat/memtype.c:991
untrack_pfn+0xf7/0x4d0 arch/x86/mm/pat/memtype.c:1104
unmap_single_vma+0x1bd/0x2b0 mm/memory.c:1819
zap_page_range_single+0x326/0x560 mm/memory.c:1920

In zap_page_range_single(), we passed mm_wr_locked as false, as we do
not expect write lock to be held.
In the special case where vma->vm_flags is set as VM_PFNMAP, we are
hitting untrack_pfn() which eventually calls into follow_phys.

This patch fixes this warning by acquiring read lock before entering
untrack_pfn() while write lock is not held.
