[PATCH] adapt page_lock_anon_vma() to PREEMPT_RCU

Browse source 
page_lock_anon_vma() uses spin_lock() to block RCU.  This doesn't work with
PREEMPT_RCU, we have to do rcu_read_lock() explicitely.  Otherwise, it is
theoretically possible that slab returns anon_vma's memory to the system
before we do spin_unlock(&anon_vma->lock).

[ Hugh points out that this only matters for PREEMPT_RCU, which isn't merged
  yet, and may never be.  Regardless, this patch is conceptually the
  right thing to do, even if it doesn't matter at this point.  - Linus ]
