Muhammad Usama Anjum 4cccb6221c fs/proc/task_mmu: move mmu notification mechanism inside mm lock 
Move mmu notification mechanism inside mm lock to prevent race condition
in other components which depend on it.  The notifier will invalidate
memory range.  Depending upon the number of iterations, different memory
ranges would be invalidated.

The following warning would be removed by this patch:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5067 at arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:734 kvm_mmu_notifier_change_pte+0x860/0x960 arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:734

There is no behavioural and performance change with this patch when
there is no component registered with the mmu notifier.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: narrow the scope of `range', per Sean]

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
