After VMA lock-based page fault handling enabled, if bad access met
under per-vma lock, it will fallback to mmap_lock-based handling,
so it leads to unnessary mmap lock and vma find again. A test from
lmbench shows 34% improve after this changes on arm64,

  lat_sig -P 1 prot lat_sig 0.29194 -> 0.19198

Only build test on other archs except arm64.

v2: 
- a better changelog, and describe the counting changes, suggested by
  Suren Baghdasaryan
- add RB
