It seems a shame to fallback if the mmap_lock is readily available.
It doesn't blow up immediately in my testing ... thoughts?

Subject: [PATCH] mm: Optimise vmf_anon_prepare() for VMAs without an anon_vma

If the mmap_lock can be taken for read, there's no reason not to take
it so that we can call __anon_vma_prepare().
