Ensure find_vma() callers do so with the mmap_sem held.
I'm sure there are a few more places left to fix, but this is a pretty good start. Following the call chain, some users become all tangled up, but I believe these fixes are correct. Furthermore, the bulk of the callers of find_vma are in a lot of functions where it is well known that the mmap_sem is taken way before, such as get_unmapped_area() family.
Please note that none of the patches are tested.
Thanks!
