nommu: fix race between ramfs truncation and shared mmap
Fix the race between the truncation of a ramfs file and an attempt to make
a shared mmap of region of that file.
The problem is that do_mmap_pgoff() calls f_op->get_unmapped_area() to
verify that the file region is made of contiguous pages and to find its
base address - but there isn't any locking to guarantee this region until
vma_prio_tree_insert() is called by add_vma_to_mm().
Note that moving the functionality into f_op->mmap() doesn't help as that
is also called before vma_prio_tree_insert().
Instead make ramfs_nommu_check_mappings() grab nommu_region_sem whilst it
does its checks. This means that this function will wait whilst mmaps
take place.
