[PATCH] mm: Replace verify_mm_writelocked() by lockdep_assert_held_exclusive()

[Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>]

Using down_read_trylock() to check if a task holds a write lock on
a rwsem is not reliable. A task can hold a read lock on a rwsem and
down_read_trylock() can fail if a writer is waiting in the wait queue.
So use lockdep_assert_held_exclusive() instead which can do the right
check when CONFIG_LOCKDEP is on.
