Rik van Riel 5c341ee1df mm: track the root (oldest) anon_vma
Track the root (oldest) anon_vma in each anon_vma tree.  Because we only
take the lock on the root anon_vma, we cannot use the lock on higher-up
anon_vmas to lock anything.  This makes it impossible to do an indirect
lookup of the root anon_vma, since the data structures could go away from
under us.

However, a direct pointer is safe because the root anon_vma is always the
last one that gets freed on munmap or exit, by virtue of the same_vma list
order and unlink_anon_vmas walking the list forward.
