Hugh Dickins a8fb5618da [PATCH] mm: unlink_file_vma, remove_vma
Divide remove_vm_struct into two parts: first anon_vma_unlink plus
unlink_file_vma, to unlink the vma from the list and tree by which rmap or
vmtruncate might find it; then remove_vma to close, fput and free.

The intention here is to do the anon_vma_unlink and unlink_file_vma earlier,
in free_pgtables before freeing any page tables: so we can be sure that any
page tables traversed by rmap and vmtruncate are stable (and other, ordinary
cases are stabilized by holding mmap_sem).

This will be crucial to traversing pgd,pud,pmd without page_table_lock.  But
testing the split-out patch showed that lifting the page_table_lock is
symbiotically necessary to make this change - the lock ordering is wrong to
move those unlinks into free_pgtables while it's under ptlock.
