mm: rmap: fix use-after-free in __put_anon_vma
While working address sanitizer for kernel I've discovered use-after-free bug in __put_anon_vma. For the last anon_vma, anon_vma->root freed before child anon_vma. Later in anon_vma_free(anon_vma) we are referencing to already freed anon_vma->root to check rwsem. This fixes it by freeing the child anon_vma before freeing anon_vma->root.
