    (rhel commit 4263d177b8) wrongly folding part of the first hunk of
    this patch.

    mm/mmap: move vma operations to mm_struct out of the critical section of file mapping lock

    UnixBench/Execl represents a class of workload where bash scripts are
    spawned frequently to do some short jobs.  When running multiple parallel
    tasks, hot osq_lock is observed from do_mmap and exit_mmap.  Both of them
    come from load_elf_binary through the call chain
    "execl->do_execveat_common->bprm_execve->load_elf_binary".

    In do_mmap,it will call mmap_region to create vma node, initialize it and
    insert it to vma maintain structure in mm_struct and i_mmap tree of the
    mapping file, then increase map_count to record the number of vma nodes
    used.  The hot osq_lock is to protect operations on file's i_mmap tree.
    For the mm_struct member change like vma insertion and map_count update,
    they do not affect i_mmap tree.  Move those operations out of the lock's
    critical section, to reduce hold time on the lock.

    With this change, on Intel Sapphire Rapids 112C/224T platform, based on
    v6.0-rc6, the 160 parallel score improves by 12%.  The patch has no
    obvious performance gain on v6.5-rc1 due to regression of this benchmark
    from this commit f1a7941243c102a44e8847e3b94ff4ff3ec56f25 (mm: convert
    mm's rss stats into percpu_counter).  Related discussion and conclusion
