mm: introduce lock_vma_under_rcu to be used from arch-specific code
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.
