binder_update_page_range needs down_write of mmap_sem because vm_insert_page need to change vma->vm_flags to VM_MIXEDMAP unless it is set. However, when I profile binder working, it seems every binder buffers should be mapped in advance by binder_mmap. It means we could set VM_MIXEDMAP in bider_mmap time which is already hold a mmap_sem as down_write so binder_update_page_range doesn't need to hold a mmap_sem as down_write.
Android suffers from mmap_sem contention so let's reduce mmap_sem down_write.
