mm: fix potential anon_vma locking issue in mprotect()
Fix an anon_vma locking issue in the following situation:
- vma has no anon_vma
- next has an anon_vma
- vma is being shrunk / next is being expanded, due to an mprotect call
We need to take next's anon_vma lock to avoid races with rmap users (such
as page migration) while next is being expanded.
