Suren, can you take a look at this?  The VMA should be locked by the
call to queue_pages_range(), but by the time we get to here, the VMA
isn't locked.  I don't see anywhere that we cycle the mmap_lock (which
would unlock the VMA), but I could have missed something.  The two
VMA walks should walk over the same set of VMAs.  Certainly the VMA
being dumped should have been locked by the pagewalk:

 vma ffff888077381a00 start 0000000020c2a000 end 0000000021000000 mm ffff8880258a8980
 prot 25 anon_vma 0000000000000000 vm_ops 0000000000000000
 pgoff 20c2a file 0000000000000000 private_data 0000000000000000
 flags: 0x8100077(read|write|exec|mayread|maywrite|mayexec|account|softdirty)

  syscall(__NR_mbind, /*addr=*/0x20400000ul, /*len=*/0xc00000ul, /*mode=*/4ul,
          /*nodemask=*/0ul, /*maxnode=*/0ul, /*flags=*/3ul);

20400000 + c00000 should overlap 20c2a000-21000000
