[PATCH 3/4] mm: Fix some minor per-VMA lock issues in userfaultfd

From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)
Date: Fri Apr 26 2024 - 10:45:41 EST


Rename lock_vma() to uffd_lock_vma() because it really is uffd specific.
Remove comment referencing unlock_vma() which doesn't exist.
Fix the comment about lock_vma_under_rcu() which I just made incorrect.
