mm: Remove i_mmap_lock lockbreak

Hugh says:
 "The only significant loser, I think, would be page reclaim (when
  concurrent with truncation): could spin for a long time waiting for
  the i_mmap_mutex it expects would soon be dropped? "

Counter points:
 - cpu contention makes the spin stop (need_resched())
 - zap pages should be freeing pages at a higher rate than reclaim
   ever can

I think the simplification of the truncate code is definitely worth it.

Effectively reverts: 2aa15890f3 ("mm: prevent concurrent
unmap_mapping_range() on the same inode") and takes out the code that
caused its problem.

- * __ Notes on dropping i_mmap_lock to reduce latency while unmapping __
- *
- * We have to restart searching the prio_tree whenever we drop the lock,
- * since the iterator is only valid while the lock is held, and anyway
- * a later vma might be split and reinserted earlier while lock dropped.
- *
- * The list of nonlinear vmas could be handled more efficiently, using
- * a placeholder, but handle it in the same way until a need is shown.
- * It is important to search the prio_tree before nonlinear list: a vma
- * may become nonlinear and be shifted from prio_tree to nonlinear list
- * while the lock is dropped; but never shifted from list to prio_tree.
- *
- * In order to make forward progress despite restarting the search,
- * vm_truncate_count is used to mark a vma as now dealt with, so we can
- * quickly skip it next time around.  Since the prio_tree search only
- * shows us those vmas affected by unmapping the range in question, we
- * can't efficiently keep all vmas in step with mapping->truncate_count:
- * so instead reset them all whenever it wraps back to 0 (then go to 1).
- * mapping->truncate_count and vma->vm_truncate_count are protected by
- * i_mmap_lock.
- *
- * In order to make forward progress despite repeatedly restarting some
- * large vma, note the restart_addr from unmap_vmas when it breaks out:
- * and restart from that address when we reach that vma again.  It might
- * have been split or merged, shrunk or extended, but never shifted: so
- * restart_addr remains valid so long as it remains in the vma's range.
- * unmap_mapping_range forces truncate_count to leap over page-aligned
- * values so we can save vma's restart_addr in its truncate_count field.
