Jann Horn a222439e1e mm/rmap: add anon_vma lifetime debug check ...

If an anon folio is mapped into userspace, its anon_vma must be alive,
otherwise rmap walks can hit UAF.

There have been syzkaller reports a few months ago[1][2] of UAF in rmap
walks that seems to indicate that there can be pages with elevated
mapcount whose anon_vma has already been freed, but I think we never
figured out what the cause is; and syzkaller only hit these UAFs when
memory pressure randomly caused reclaim to rmap-walk the affected pages,
so it of course didn't manage to create a reproducer.

Add a VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO() when we add/remove mappings of anonymous folios
to hopefully catch such issues more reliably.
