[rfc][patches] fix for munmap/truncate races

[Al Viro]

	Background: truncate() ends up going through the shared mappings
of file being truncated (under ->i_mmap_mutex, to protect them from
getting removed while we do that) and calling unmap_vmas() on them,
with range passed to unmap_vmas() sitting entirely within the vma
being passed to it.  The trouble is, unmap_vmas() expects a chain of
vmas.  It will look into the next vma, see that it's beyond the range
we'd been given and do nothing to it.  Fine, except that there's nothing
to protect that next vma from being removed just as we do that - we do
*not* hold ->i_mmap and ->i_mmap_mutex held on our file won't do anything
to mappings that have nothing to do with the file in question.

	There's an obvious way to deal with that - introducing a variant
of unmap_vmas() that would handle a single vma and switch these callers
of unmap_vmas() to using it.  It requires some preparations; below is
the combined diff, for those who prefer to review the splitup, it is in
