Subject: mm: disable CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK until its fixed
Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2023 18:14:00 -0700

A memory corruption was reported in [1] with bisection pointing to the
patch [2] enabling per-VMA locks for x86.  Disable per-VMA locks config to
prevent this issue until the fix is confirmed.  This is expected to be a
temporary measure.
