And here you destroy pretty much all advantage of having done the
lockless lookup ;-)

The idea is to let the RCU lock span whatever length you need the vma
for, the easy way is to simply use PREEMPT_RCU=y for now, the hard way
is to also incorporate the drop-mmap_sem on blocking patches from a
while ago.
