mm: fix hang on anon_vma->root->lock
After several hours, kbuild tests hang with anon_vma_prepare() spinning on a newly allocated anon_vma's lock - on a box with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y (which makes this very much more likely, but it could happen without). The ever-subtle page_lock_anon_vma() now needs a further twist: since anon_vma_prepare() and anon_vma_fork() are liable to change the ->root of a reused anon_vma structure at any moment, page_lock_anon_vma() needs to check page_mapped() again before succeeding, otherwise page_unlock_anon_vma() might address a different root->lock.
