[PATCH v2 6/6] mm: move vma locking out of vma_prepare

[Suren Baghdasaryan]

vma_prepare() is currently the central place where vmas are being locked
before vma_complete() applies changes to them. While this is convenient,
it also obscures vma locking and makes it hard to follow the locking rules.
Move vma locking out of vma_prepare() and take vma locks explicitly at the
locations where vmas are being modified.
