Please don't use that for mainline - do_brk_locked doesn;t follow kernel convention and in addition you've made every case you miss (eg outside code) fail insecure. The original patch you did that I used that adds __do_brk() not only follows kernel convention but means anyone with external code will end up with it fixed or with a deadlock that is easy to track if unlucky.
Silent security failure is *bad*
