Wait a minute, this is actually wrong. You need to call
vma_lock_anon_vma() / vma_unlock_anon_vma() to avoid the issue with
vma->anon_vma == NULL.

I'll fix it and integrate it into my next patch series, which I intend
to send later today. (I am adding new code into validate_mm(), so that
it's easier to have it in the same patch series to avoid merge
conflicts)
