[PATCH 08/10] mm/mremap: share the i_mmap_rwsem

[Davidlohr Bueso]

As per the comment in move_ptes(), we only require taking the
anon vma and i_mmap locks to ensure that rmap will always observe
either the old or new ptes, in the case of need_rmap_lock=true.
No modifications to the tree itself, thus share the i_mmap_rwsem.

Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@xxxxxxx>

XXX: the same *should* apply for the anon vma, as there are
no modifications to the chain.
