[RFC PATCH] x86/fault: move might_sleep() out of mmap read lock

[Muchun Song]

The mmap lock is supposed to be a contended lock sometimes, scheduling
to other task with holding mmap read lock does not seems to be a wise
choice. So move it to the front of mmap_read_trylock(). Although
mmap_read_lock() implies a might_sleep(), I think redundant check is
not a problem since this task is about to sleep and it is not a hot
path.
