mm: fix clear_refs_write locking
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 29a951d ]

Turning page table entries read-only requires the mmap_sem held for
writing.

So stop doing the odd games with turning things from read locks to write
locks and back.  Just get the write lock.
