mm: call wp_page_copy() under the VMA lock

It is usually safe to call wp_page_copy() under the VMA lock.  The only
unsafe situation is when no anon_vma has been allocated for this VMA, and
we have to look at adjacent VMAs to determine if their anon_vma can be
shared.  Since this happens only for the first COW of a page in this VMA,
the majority of calls to wp_page_copy() do not need to fall back to the
mmap_sem.

Add vmf_anon_prepare() as an alternative to anon_vma_prepare() which will
return RETRY if we currently hold the VMA lock and need to allocate an
anon_vma.  This lets us drop the check in do_wp_page().
