[PATCH] mm: ptd_alloc take ptlock
Second step in pushing down the page_table_lock. Remove the temporary
bridging hack from __pud_alloc, __pmd_alloc, __pte_alloc: expect callers not
to hold page_table_lock, whether it's on init_mm or a user mm; take
page_table_lock internally to check if a racing task already allocated.
Convert their callers from common code. But avoid coming back to change them
again later: instead of moving the spin_lock(&mm->page_table_lock) down,
switch over to new macros pte_alloc_map_lock and pte_unmap_unlock, which
encapsulate the mapping+locking and unlocking+unmapping together, and in the
end may use alternatives to the mm page_table_lock itself.
These callers all hold mmap_sem (some exclusively, some not), so at no level
can a page table be whipped away from beneath them; and pte_alloc uses the
"atomic" pmd_present to test whether it needs to allocate. It appears that on
all arches we can safely descend without page_table_lock.
