gpu: ion: Prevent deadlock with cache flushing
Cache flushing takes the mmap semaphore to validate the
address range. This can cause a deadlock in the following
scenario with two threads in the same client:
Thread 1 Thread 2
(cache operation) (mmap)
-----------------------------------------
lock(client_lock)
down_write(mmap_semaphore)
down_read(mmap_semaphore)
lock(client_lock)
Fix this by doing the check for the address range before
taking the client lock. This is independent of Ion so there
is no need to have this lock locked.
