Subject[patch 68/74] mm_for_maps: shift down_read(mmap_sem) to the caller
2.6.30-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

commit 00f89d218523b9bf6b522349c039d5ac80aa536d upstream.

mm_for_maps() takes ->mmap_sem after security checks, this looks
strange and obfuscates the locking rules. Move this lock to its
single caller, m_start().
