So, I didn't do it because previous patch only handled rwsem_is_locked
call sites. I leaned towards adding as few new API functions as
possible until we figure out exactly what is required.

That said, I agree it seems reasonable to split mmap_assert_locked()
into mmap_assert_read_locked() and mmap_assert_write_locked(), and
convert the lockdep asserts to use these instead.
I'm not sure we need to do it right away though; we are at least not
losing any test coverage with the existing version of the patchset...
