mm: handle faults that merely update the accessed bit under the VMA lock

Move FAULT_FLAG_VMA_LOCK check out of handle_pte_fault().  This should
have a significant performance improvement for mmaped files.  Write faults
(on read-only shared pages) still take the mmap lock as we do not want to
audit all the implementations of ->pfn_mkwrite() and ->page_mkwrite(). 
However write-faults on private mappings are handled under the VMA lock.
