mm: handle shared faults under the VMA lock

mainline inclusion
from mainline-v6.7-rc1
commit 4ed4379881aa62588aba6442a9f362a8cf7624e6
category: other
bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I8K7C7

Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=4ed4379881aa62588aba6442a9f362a8cf7624e6

--------------------------------

There are many implementations of ->fault and some of them depend on
mmap_lock being held.  All vm_ops that implement ->map_pages() end up
calling filemap_fault(), which I have audited to be sure it does not rely
on mmap_lock.  So (for now) key off ->map_pages existing as a flag to
indicate that it's safe to call ->fault while only holding the vma lock.
