FROMLIST: mm: rust: add vm_area_struct methods that require read access
This adds a type called VmAreaRef which is used when referencing a vma that you have read access to. Here, read access means that you hold either the mmap read lock or the vma read lock (or stronger). Additionally, a vma_lookup method is added to the mmap read guard, which enables you to obtain a &VmAreaRef in safe Rust code. This patch only provides a way to lock the mmap read lock, but a follow-up patch also provides a way to just lock the vma read lock.
