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
