m_start() drops ->mmap_sem and does mmput() if it retuns vsyscall
vma. This is because in this case m_stop()->vma_stop() obviously
can't use gate_vma->vm_mm.
Now that we have proc_maps_private->mm we can simplify this logic:
- Change m_start() to return with ->mmap_sem held unless it returns
IS_ERR_OR_NULL().
- Change vma_stop() to use priv->mm and avoid the ugly vma checks,
this makes "vm_area_struct *vma" unnecessary.
- This also allows m_start() to use vm_stop().
- Cleanup m_next() to follow the new locking rule.
Note: m_stop() looks very ugly, and this temporary uglifies it
even more. Fixed by the next change.
