[PATCH v1 2/9] mm: add atomic VMA flags and set VM_MAYBE_GUARD as such

[Ahmed Elaidy <elaidya225@gmail.com>]

From: Lorenzo Stoakes <lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>

This patch adds the ability to atomically set VMA flags with only the mmap
read/VMA read lock held.

As this could be hugely problematic for VMA flags in general given that
all other accesses are non-atomic and serialised by the mmap/VMA locks, we
implement this with a strict allow-list - that is, only designated flags
are allowed to do this.

We make VM_MAYBE_GUARD one of these flags.
