mm: fix locking order in mm_take_all_locks()

Dmitry Vyukov has reported[1] possible deadlock (triggered by his
syzkaller fuzzer):

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key);
                               lock(&mapping->i_mmap_rwsem);
                               lock(&hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key);
  lock(&mapping->i_mmap_rwsem);

Both traces points to mm_take_all_locks() as a source of the problem.
It doesn't take care about ordering or hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key (aka
mapping->i_mmap_rwsem for hugetlb mapping) vs.  i_mmap_rwsem.

huge_pmd_share() does memory allocation under hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key
and allocator can take i_mmap_rwsem if it hit reclaim.  So we need to
take i_mmap_rwsem from all hugetlb VMAs before taking i_mmap_rwsem from
rest of VMAs.

The patch also documents locking order for hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key.
