This will try a speculative page fault without holding the mmap_sem, if it returns with VM_FAULT_RETRY, the mmap_sem is acquired and the traditional page fault processing is done. The speculative path is only tried for multithreaded process as there is no risk of contention on the mmap_sem otherwise.
