I *think* we need to understand more about what detached VMAs mean for
rmap. The anon_vma for these VMAs still reachable for the rmap and
therefore VMA too. I don't quite grasp what is implications of this, but
it doesn't look good.

I'll look into this more when I get some free cycles.

It's better to disable the optimization for now (by ignoring 'downgrade'
in __do_munmap()). Before it hits release.
