mm_for_maps: shift down_read(mmap_sem) to the caller
mm_for_maps() takes ->mmap_sem after security checks, this looks strange and obfuscates the locking rules. Move this lock to its single caller, m_start(). Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
