Subject[PATCH] mm: Fix vm_brk_flags() to not bail out while holding lock
Date
From: Sebastian Ott <sebott@redhat.com>

Calling vm_brk_flags() with flags set other than VM_EXEC
will exit the function without releasing the mmap_write_lock.

Just do the sanity check before the lock is acquired. This
doesn't fix an actual issue since no caller sets a flag other
than VM_EXEC.
