Tetsuo Handa has noticed that MMF_UNSTABLE SIGBUS path in
handle_mm_fault causes a lockdep splat

The reason is that the page fault path might have dropped the mmap_sem
and returned with VM_FAULT_RETRY. MMF_UNSTABLE check however rewrites
the error path to VM_FAULT_SIGBUS and we always expect mmap_sem taken in
that path. Fix this by taking mmap_sem when VM_FAULT_RETRY is held in
the MMF_UNSTABLE path.
We cannot simply add VM_FAULT_SIGBUS to the existing error code because
all arch specific page fault handlers and g-u-p would have to learn a
new error code combination.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
