[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

[<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.
