hugetlb: acquire the i_mmap_lock before walking the prio_tree to unmap a page
When the owner of a mapping fails COW because a child process is holding a
reference, the children VMAs are walked and the page is unmapped. The
i_mmap_lock is taken for the unmapping of the page but not the walking of
the prio_tree. In theory, that tree could be changing if the lock is not
held. This patch takes the i_mmap_lock properly for the duration of the
prio_tree walk.
