Not exactly.

In the anon case mapping will point to a 'struct anon_vma *'.  But,
i_mmap_lock_write expects a 'struct address_space *'.  I believe this
is source of the NULL pointer dereference in down_write.

Not sure what is happening in the MAP_SHARED case.  My test which does
something similar does not have issues.

In any case, the commit is bad.  I will investagate further.
