Acquiring the mmap_lock during exit_mmap() was only added recently in v5.17 by commit 64591e8605d6 ("mm: protect free_pgtables with mmap_lock write lock in exit_mmap"). Soon after, asserts for holding this lock were added to the binder_alloc_set_vma() callback by the following two fix commits in mainline: commit b0cab80ecd54 ("android: binder: fix lockdep check on clearing vma") and commit a43cfc87caaf ("android: binder: stop saving a pointer to the VMA").

These two fix commits were picked for stable trees including v5.15 were unfortunately the mmap_lock is not held during exit_mmap() yet and this unmet dependency leads to the following BUG report:

This patch removes the inaccurate assert specifically from v5.15 since it's the only release with such issue. Note the mmap_lock is technically not needed here as the mm->mm_users has dropped to zero at this point. More context: https://lore.kernel.org/all/YxpQaio7xm3z9TUw@google.com/.
