Jan Stancek b6a9b7f6b1 mm: prevent mmap_cache race in find_vma()
find_vma() can be called by multiple threads with read lock
held on mm->mmap_sem and any of them can update mm->mmap_cache.
Prevent compiler from re-fetching mm->mmap_cache, because other
readers could update it in the meantime:

               thread 1                             thread 2
                                        |
  find_vma()                            |  find_vma()
    struct vm_area_struct *vma = NULL;  |
    vma = mm->mmap_cache;               |
    if (!(vma && vma->vm_end > addr     |
        && vma->vm_start <= addr)) {    |
                                        |    mm->mmap_cache = vma;
    return vma;                         |
     ^^ compiler may optimize this      |
        local variable out and re-read  |
        mm->mmap_cache                  |

This issue can be reproduced with gcc-4.8.0-1 on s390x by running
mallocstress testcase from LTP, which triggers:

Thanks to Jakub Jelinek for his insight on gcc and helping to
track this down.
