VMA flag modifications should be done under VMA lock to prevent concurrent
page fault handling in that area.

There are few changes also done in the driver's space, for instance:

*** arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx/driver.c:
sgx_mmap[98]                   vma->vm_flags |= VM_PFNMAP | VM_DONTEXPAND |
VM_DONTDUMP | VM_IO;
*** arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx/virt.c:
sgx_vepc_mmap[108]             vma->vm_flags |= VM_PFNMAP | VM_IO |
VM_DONTDUMP | VM_DONTCOPY;
*** drivers/dax/device.c:
dax_mmap[311]                  vma->vm_flags |= VM_HUGEPAGE;

I guess these changes to vm_flags should be protected as well, or to be
checked one by one.
Thanks for noting these! I'll add necessary locking here and will look
for other places I might have missed.

may be done only in the case the vm_flags field is touched.
