Implicit vma locking inside vm_flags_reset() and vm_flags_reset_once() is not obvious and makes it hard to understand where vma locking is happening. Also in some cases (like in dup_userfaultfd()) vma should be locked earlier than vma_flags modification. To make locking more visible, change these functions to assert that the vma write lock is taken and explicitly lock the vma beforehand. Fix userfaultfd functions which should lock the vma earlier.

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.
