mm: proc: smaps_rollup: do not stall write attempts on mmap_lock

Browse Source 
smaps_rollup will try to grab mmap_lock and go through the whole vma list
until it finishes the iterating.  When encountering large processes, the
mmap_lock will be held for a longer time, which may block other write
requests like mmap and munmap from progressing smoothly.

There are upcoming mmap_lock optimizations like range-based locks, but the
lock applied to smaps_rollup would be the coarse type, which doesn't avoid
the occurrence of unpleasant contention.

To solve aforementioned issue, we add a check which detects whether anyone
wants to grab mmap_lock for write attempts.

* find_vma(mm, 16k - 1) will return VMA2.
* Iterate the loop like the original one.
*
* 3) No more VMAs can be found:
*
* find_vma(mm, 16k - 1) will return NULL.
* No more things to do, just break.
*
* 4) (last_vma_end - 1) is the middle of a vma (VMA'):
*
* find_vma(mm, 16k - 1) will return VMA' whose range
* contains last_vma_end.
* Iterate VMA' from last_vma_end.
