[RFC PATCH v4 08/13] vfio: remove unnecessary mmap_sem writer acquisition around locked_vm

From: Daniel Jordan
Date: Mon Nov 05 2018 - 11:59:03 EST


Now that mmap_sem is no longer required for modifying locked_vm, remove
it in the VFIO code.

[XXX Can be sent separately, along with similar conversions in the other
places mmap_sem was taken for locked_vm. While at it, could make
similar changes to pinned_vm.]
