mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem

Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem, which will help
in solving a page-migration scalability problem. (Addressed in
a separate patch.)

The conversion is simple and straightforward: in every case
where we mutex_lock()ed we'll now down_write().
