Alexander Beregalov and Alex Xu reported similar bugs and Hillf Danton
identified that commit 5a505085f043 ("mm/rmap: Convert the struct
anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem") and commit 4fc3f1d66b1e ("mm/rmap,
migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable")
were likely the problem.  Reverting these commits was reported to solve
the problem for Alexander.

Despite the reason for these commits, NUMA balancing is not the direct
source of the problem.  split_huge_page() expects the anon_vma lock to
be exclusive to serialise the whole split operation.  Ordinarily it is
expected that the anon_vma lock would only be required when updating the
avcs but THP also uses the anon_vma rwsem for collapse and split
operations where the page lock or compound lock cannot be used (as the
page is changing from base to THP or vice versa) and the page table
locks are insufficient.

This patch takes the anon_vma lock for write to serialise against parallel
split_huge_page as THP expected before the conversion to rwsem.
