Backport: 6852c46c783d mm/mmap: move vma operations to mm_struct out of
the critical section of file mapping lock (merged upstream in 6.6) to
jammy
[Impact]
The msg_bytes and msg_hdrs atomic counters are frequently updated when IPC msg
queue is in heavy use, causing heavy cache bounce and overhead. Change them to
percpu_counter greatly improve the performance. Since there is one percpu
struct per namespace, additional memory cost is minimal. Reading of the count
done in msgctl call, which is infrequent. So the need to sum up the counts in
each CPU is infrequent.
[Fix]
Backport:

section of file mapping lock
[Test]
I have tested this code.
