This allows to search for a VMA structure without holding the mmap_sem.
The search is repeated while the mm seqlock is changing and until we found
a valid VMA.
While under the RCU protection, a reference is taken on the VMA, so the
caller must call put_vma() once it not more need the VMA structure.
At the time a VMA is inserted in the MM RB tree, in vma_rb_insert(), a
reference is taken to the VMA by calling get_vma().
When removing a VMA from the MM RB tree, the VMA is not release immediately
but at the end of the RCU grace period through vm_rcu_put(). This ensures
that the VMA remains allocated until the end the RCU grace period.
Since the vm_file pointer, if valid, is released in put_vma(), there is no
guarantee that the file pointer will be valid on the returned VMA.

Adding a comment here explaining the BUG_ON so people can understand
what is wrong if that happens. For instance:
/*
* remove_vma() should be call only once a vma have been remove from the rbtree
* at which point the vma->vm_rb is an empty node. The exception is when vmas
* are destroy through exit_mmap() in which case we do not bother updating the
* rbtree (see comment in __remove_vma()).
*/
I agree !
