[merged] rmap-anon_vma_prepare-can-leak-anon_vma_chain.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     rmap: anon_vma_prepare() can leak anon_vma_chain
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     rmap-anon_vma_prepare-can-leak-anon_vma_chain.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: rmap: anon_vma_prepare() can leak anon_vma_chain
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

If find_mergeable_anon_vma() succeeds but another thread installs
->anon_vma before we take ptl, then allocated == NULL but avc should be
freed.  Change the code to check avc != NULL to detect this case.

Also, a couple of whitespace changes to make the critical section more
visible.
