Subject: mm: fix sleeping function warning from __put_anon_vma

commit 7f39dda9d86fb4f4f17af0de170decf125726f8c upstream.

Trinity reports BUG:

  sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/rwsem.c:47
  in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 5787, name: trinity-c27

__might_sleep < down_write < __put_anon_vma < page_get_anon_vma <
migrate_pages < compact_zone < compact_zone_order < try_to_compact_pages ..

Right, since conversion to mutex then rwsem, we should not put_anon_vma()
from inside an rcu_read_lock()ed section: fix the two places that did so.
And add might_sleep() to anon_vma_free(), as suggested by Peter Zijlstra.
