Introduce lock_vma_under_rcu function to lookup and lock a VMA during page fault handling. When VMA is not found, can't be locked or changes after being locked, the function returns NULL. The lookup is performed under RCU protection to prevent the found VMA from being destroyed before the VMA lock is acquired. VMA lock statistics are updated according to the results. For now only anonymous VMAs can be searched this way. In other cases the function returns NULL.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
