Martin Schwidefsky 50aa98bad0 [S390] fix recursive locking on page_table_lock
Suzuki Poulose reported the following recursive locking bug on s390:

Here is the stack trace : (see Appendix I for more info)

  [<0000000000406ed6>] _spin_lock+0x52/0x94
  [<0000000000103bde>] crst_table_free+0x14e/0x1a4
  [<00000000001ba684>] __pmd_alloc+0x114/0x1ec
  [<00000000001be8d0>] handle_mm_fault+0x2cc/0xb80
  [<0000000000407d62>] do_dat_exception+0x2b6/0x3a0
  [<0000000000114f8c>] sysc_return+0x0/0x8
  [<00000200001642b2>] 0x200001642b2

The page_table_lock is already acquired in __pmd_alloc (mm/memory.c) and
it tries to populate the pud/pgd with a new pmd allocated. If another
thread populates it before we get a chance, we free the pmd using
pmd_free().

On s390x, pmd_free(even pud_free ) is #defined to crst_table_free(),
which acquires the page_table_lock to protect the crst_table index updates.

Hence this ends up in a recursive locking of the page_table_lock.

The solution suggested by Dave Hansen is to use a new spin lock in the mmu
context to protect the access to the crst_list and the pgtable_list.
