smaps_rollup will try to grab mmap_lock and go through the whole vma list until it finishes the iterating. When encountering large processes, the mmap_lock will be held for a longer time, which may block other write requests like mmap and munmap from progressing smoothly. There are upcoming mmap_lock optimizations like range-based locks, but the lock applied to smaps_rollup would be the coarse type, which doesn't avoid the occurrence of unpleasant contention. To solve aforementioned issue, we add a check which detects whether anyone wants to grab mmap_lock for write attempts.
