I think we could match their behavior by also dropping mmap_lock here
when fault is handled under mmap_lock (!(fault->flags &
FAULT_FLAG_VMA_LOCK)).
I missed the fact that VM_FAULT_COMPLETED can be used to skip dropping
mmap_lock in do_page_fault(), so indeed, I might be able to use
VM_FAULT_COMPLETED to skip vma_end_read(vma) for per-vma locks as well
instead of introducing FAULT_FLAG_VMA_LOCK. I think that was your idea
of reusing existing flags?
