[PATCH v2 3/4] mm/mmap: Change detached vma locking scheme

From: Liam R. Howlett
Date: Fri Jul 14 2023 - 15:56:28 EST


Don't set the lock to the mm lock so that the detached VMA tree does not
complain about being unlocked when the mmap_lock is dropped prior to
freeing the tree.

Move the destroying of the detached tree outside the mmap lock all
together.
