mm: always lock new vma before inserting into vma tree
While it's not strictly necessary to lock a newly created vma before
adding it into the vma tree (as long as no further changes are performed
to it), it seems like a good policy to lock it and prevent accidental
changes after it becomes visible to the page faults. Lock the vma before
adding it into the vma tree.
