Looks like rcu_read_lock() was lost in "out:" path of tcache_detach_page()
when tcache was ported to VZ8. As a result, Syzkaller was able to hit
the following warning:

  WARNING: bad unlock balance detected!
  4.18.0-193.6.3.vz8.4.7.syz+debug #1 Tainted: G        W        ---------r-  -
  -------------------------------------
  vcmmd/926 is trying to release lock (rcu_read_lock) at:
  [<ffffffff848ed2e0>] tcache_detach_page+0x530/0x750
  but there are no more locks to release!

  other info that might help us debug this:
  2 locks held by vcmmd/926:
   #0: ffff888036331f30 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++}, at: __do_page_fault+0x157/0x550
   #1: ffff8880567295f8 (&ei->i_mmap_sem){++++}, at: ext4_filemap_fault+0x82/0xc0 [ext4]

Let us restore rcu_read_lock().
