I backtracked this. The locks have been there from v21-v35. This is a
refactoring mistake in radix_tree to xarray migration happened in v36.
It's by no means intentional.

What is shoukd take is encl->lock.

The loop was pre-v36 like:

	idx_start = PFN_DOWN(start);
	idx_end = PFN_DOWN(end - 1);

	for (idx = idx_start; idx <= idx_end; ++idx) {
		mutex_lock(&encl->lock);
		page = radix_tree_lookup(&encl->page_tree, idx);
		mutex_unlock(&encl->lock);

		if (!page || (~page->vm_max_prot_bits & vm_prot_bits))
			return -EACCES;
	}

Looking at xarray.h and filemap.c, I'm thinking something along the
lines of:

	for (idx = idx_start; idx <= idx_end; ++idx) {
		mutex_lock(&encl->lock);
		page = xas_find(&xas, idx + 1);
		mutex_unlock(&encl->lock);

		if (!page || (~page->vm_max_prot_bits & vm_prot_bits))
			return -EACCES;
	}

Does this look about right?
