mm: handle shared faults under the VMA lock
There are many implementations of ->fault and some of them depend on
mmap_lock being held. All vm_ops that implement ->map_pages() end up
calling filemap_fault(), which I have audited to be sure it does not rely
on mmap_lock. So (for now) key off ->map_pages existing as a flag to
indicate that it's safe to call ->fault while only holding the vma lock.
