Performing vma lookups without taking the mm->mmap_sem is asking for
trouble. While doing the search, the vma in question can be modified or
even removed before returning to the caller. Take the lock (shared) in
order to avoid races while iterating through the vmacache and/or rbtree.
In addition, this guarantees that the address space will remain intact
during the CPU flushing.
