Sorry. I cannot understand.
If it is changed under us, what happens? If it's critical, why cannot we
check with seqcounter?
Clearly, I'm not understanding the logic here. However, it's a global
change without CONFIG_SPF so I want to be more careful.
It would be better to describe why we need to sanpshot those values
into vm_fault rather than preventing the race.

Thanks.
