[patch 01/20] convert anon_vma list lock a read/write lock

[Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: make-anon_vma-lock-rw.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5654 bytes --]

Make the anon_vma list lock a read/write lock.  Heaviest use of this
lock is in the page_referenced()/try_to_unmap() calls from vmscan
[shrink_page_list()].  These functions can use a read lock to allow
some parallelism for different cpus trying to reclaim pages mapped
via the same set of vmas.

This change should not change the footprint of the anon_vma in the
non-debug case.
