arm64/mm: avoid fixmap race condition when create pud mapping
[ Upstream commit ee017ee353506fcec58e481673e4331ff198a80e ] The 'fixmap' is a global resource and is used recursively by create pud mapping(), leading to a potential race condition in the presence of a concurrent call to alloc_init_pud(): kernel_init thread virtio-mem workqueue thread ================== =========================== alloc_init_pud(...) alloc_init_pud(...) pudp = pud_set_fixmap_offset(...) pudp = pud_set_fixmap_offset(...) READ_ONCE(*pudp) pud_clear_fixmap(...) READ_ONCE(*pudp) // CRASH! As kernel may sleep during creating pud mapping, introduce a mutex lock to serialise use of the fixmap entries by alloc_init_pud(). However, there is no need for locking in early boot stage and it doesn't work well with KASLR enabled when early boot. So, enable lock when system_state doesn't equal to "SYSTEM_BOOTING".
