mm: memory: Add access_remote_vm_locked variant
This allows accessing a remote vm while the mmap_lock is already
held by the caller.
While adding support for anonymous vma naming, show_map_vma()
needs to access the remote vm to get the name of the anonymous vma.
Since show_map_vma() already holds the mmap_lock, so this _locked
variant was required.
