Suren Baghdasaryan 0b16f8bed1 mm: change vma_start_read() to drop RCU lock on failure 
vma_start_read() can drop and reacquire RCU lock in certain failure cases.
It's not apparent that the RCU session started by the caller of this
function might be interrupted when vma_start_read() fails to lock the vma.
This might become a source of subtle bugs and to prevent that we change
the locking rules for vma_start_read() to drop RCU read lock upon failure.
This way it's more obvious that RCU-protected objects are unsafe after
vma locking fails.
