The main reason being we are trying to avoid bouncing the lock too much and while this is cleaner it could cause more contention. -- Alex Bennée

We acquire mmap lock and tb lock in one order and release them in a different order. This does not need to be that way. This patch was inspired by a previous patch by Emilio G. Cota (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-08/msg03785.html).
