Davidlohr Bueso 7b24d8616b mm, hugetlb: fix race in region tracking
There is a race condition if we map a same file on different processes.
Region tracking is protected by mmap_sem and hugetlb_instantiation_mutex.
When we do mmap, we don't grab a hugetlb_instantiation_mutex, but only
mmap_sem (exclusively).  This doesn't prevent other tasks from modifying
the region structure, so it can be modified by two processes
concurrently.

To solve this, introduce a spinlock to resv_map and make region
manipulation function grab it before they do actual work.
