It is now possible to walk the vma tree using the rcu read locks and is
beneficial to do so to reduce lock contention.  Doing so while a
MAP_FIXED mapping is executing means that a reader may see a gap in the
vma tree that should never logically exist - and does not when using the
mmap lock in read mode.  The temporal gap exists because mmap_region()
calls munmap() prior to installing the new mapping.

This patch set stops rcu readers from seeing the temporal gap by
splitting up the munmap() function into two parts.  The first part
prepares the vma tree for modifications by doing the necessary splits
and tracks the vmas marked for removal in a side tree.  The second part
completes the munmapping of the vmas after the vma tree has been
overwritten (either by a MAP_FIXED replacement vma or by a NULL in the
munmap() case).

Please note that rcu walkers will still be able to see a temporary state
of split vmas that may be in the process of being removed, but the
temporal gap will not be exposed.  vma_start_write() are called on both
parts of the split vma, so this state is detectable.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20240611180200.711239-1-Liam.Howlett@oracle.com/
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240625191145.3382793-1-Liam.Howlett@oracle.com/
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20240704182718.2653918-1-Liam.Howlett@oracle.com/
v4: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20240710192250.4114783-1-Liam.Howlett@oracle.com/

Changes since v4:
 - rebase on akpm/mm-unstable
 - init_vma_munmap() has an else statement to set start/end to 0 and mm
   to NULL.
 - Don't drop unmap_arch() as powerpc needs it.  Relocate it instead.
 - Call vma->vm_ops->close() before completing the removal of vmas, call
   vma->vm_ops->open() on abort.  This fixes ltp hugemmap06 test.
