mm: unmap_mapping_range_tree() with i_mmap_rwsem shared

Revert 48ec833b ("Revert "mm/memory.c: share the i_mmap_rwsem"") to
reinstate c8475d14 ("mm/memory.c: share the i_mmap_rwsem"): the
unmap_mapping_range family of functions do the unmapping of user pages
(ultimately via zap_page_range_single) without modifying the interval tree
itself, and unmapping races are necessarily guarded by page table lock,
thus the i_mmap_rwsem should be shared in unmap_mapping_pages() and
unmap_mapping_folio().

Commit 48ec833b was intended as a short-term measure, allowing the
other shared lock changes into 3.19 final, before investigating three
trinity crashes, one of which had been bisected to commit c8475d14:

[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/14/342
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/5466142C.60100@oracle.com/
[2] https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/22/213
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/549832E2.8060609@oracle.com/
[3] https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/9/741
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/5487ACC5.1010002@oracle.com/

Two of those were Bad page states: free_pages_prepare() found PG_mlocked
still set - almost certain to have been fixed by 4.4 commit b87537d9
("mm: rmap use pte lock not mmap_sem to set PageMlocked").  The NULL deref
on rwsem in [2]: unclear, only happened once, not bisected to c8475d14.

No change to the i_mmap_lock_write() around __unmap_hugepage_range_final()
in unmap_single_vma(): IIRC that's a special usage, helping to serialize
hugetlbfs page table sharing, not to be dabbled with lightly.  No change
to other uses of i_mmap_lock_write() by hugetlbfs.

I am not aware of any significant gains from the concurrency allowed by
this commit: it is submitted more to resolve an ancient misunderstanding.
