[PATCH v7 16/17] mm: make vma cache SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU

[Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@google.com>]

To enable SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for vma cache we need to ensure that
object reuse before RCU grace period is over will be detected by
lock_vma_under_rcu(). Current checks are sufficient as long as vma
is detached before it is freed. Implement this guarantee by calling
vma_ensure_detached() before vma is freed and make vm_area_cachep
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. This will facilitate vm_area_struct reuse and
will minimize the number of call_rcu() calls.
