OK, so non of the users of page_lock_anon_vma() with exception of the
memory-failure.c one could really care. And all of them seem to be safe
enough wrt dealing with a dead one.

So unless people care, I'm going to not spend more time on trying to
make page_lock_anon_vma() behave.

Instead I'll try and see wth it is that migrate.c and rmap_walk_anon are
doing.
