vma_prepare() is currently the central place where vmas are being locked before vma_complete() applies changes to them. While this is convenient, it also obscures vma locking and makes it harder to follow the locking rules. Move vma locking out of vma_prepare() and take vma locks explicitly at the locations where vmas are being modified. Move vma locking and replace it with an assertion inside dup_anon_vma() to further clarify the locking pattern inside vma_merge().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
