On page fault, we find about the VMA that backs the page fault early on, and quickly release the mmap_read_lock. However, using the VMA pointer after the critical section is pretty dangerous, as a teardown may happen in the meantime and the VMA be long gone. Move the sampling of the MTE permission early, and NULL-ify the VMA pointer after that, just to be on the safe side.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
