I don't like setting MMF_OOF_SKIP after remove_vma() loop. 50 users might
call vma->vm_ops->close() from remove_vma(). Some of them are doing fs
writeback, some of them might be doing GFP_KERNEL allocation from
vma->vm_ops->open() with a lock also held by vma->vm_ops->close().

I don't think that waiting for completion of remove_vma() loop is safe.
And my patch is safe.
