Replace indirect modifications to vma->vm_flags with calls to modifier functions to be able to track flag changes and to keep vma locking correctness. Add a BUG_ON check in ksm_madvise() to catch indirect vm_flags modification attempts.
Those BUG_ONs scream to much IMHO. KSM is an MM internal code so I gueess we should be willing to trust it.
Yes, but I really want to prevent an indirect misuse since it was not easy to find these. If you feel strongly about it I will remove them or if you have a better suggestion I'm all for it.
