mm: disable CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK until its fixed
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
A memory corruption was reported in [1] with bisection pointing to the
patch [2] enabling per-VMA locks for x86.
Disable per-VMA locks config to prevent this issue while the problem is
being investigated. This is expected to be a temporary measure.
