LTP mtest06 has been observed to occasionally hit "still mapped when
deleted" and following BUG_ON on arm64.

The extra mapcount originated from pagefault handler, which handled
pagefault for vma that has already been detached. vma is detached
under mmap_sem write lock by detach_vmas_to_be_unmapped(), which
also invalidates vmacache.

When the pagefault handler (under mmap_sem read lock) calls
find_vma(), vmacache_valid() wrongly reports vmacache as valid.

After rwsem down_read() returns via 'queue empty' path (as of v5.2),
it does so without an ACQUIRE on sem->count:

  down_read()
    __down_read()
      rwsem_down_read_failed()
        __rwsem_down_read_failed_common()
          raw_spin_lock_irq(&sem->wait_lock);
          if (list_empty(&sem->wait_list)) {
            if (atomic_long_read(&sem->count) >= 0) {
              raw_spin_unlock_irq(&sem->wait_lock);
              return sem;

The problem can be reproduced by running LTP mtest06 in a loop and
building the kernel (-j $NCPUS) in parallel. It does reproduces since
v4.20 on arm64 HPE Apollo 70 (224 CPUs, 256GB RAM, 2 nodes). It
triggers reliably in about an hour.

The patched kernel ran fine for 10+ hours.
