access_process_vm is also called from /proc to get the environment and
the command line. I don't know if it has other locks it might
serialize on, probably not. With execve it's a very small window...

I'll include it again. I had it attached as a plain text attachment,
I don't know if that is a problem or not.
The case I spotted it we were getting the mm semaphore for do_mmap but
not for do_brk. So we only get it 50% of the time...
The other thing my patch does is update elf_map so we now handles elf
files with multiple bss sections.
