I think

- switch (try_to_unmap(page, TTU_UNMAP)) {
+ switch (__try_to_unmap(page, TTU_UNMAP)) {

should be enough when your changes are adopted. Because if the page
mmap mutex needs to be locked, we will have locked it here before
__try_to_unmap gets used.

+ if (needs_page_mmap_mutex(page) &&
+ i_mmap_mutex != &page->mapping->i_mmap_mutex) {
+ if (i_mmap_mutex)
+ mutex_unlock(i_mmap_mutex);
+ i_mmap_mutex = &page->mapping->i_mmap_mutex;
+ mutex_lock(i_mmap_mutex);
+ }
