[PATCH] mm/memory-failure: Use a mutex to avoid memory_failure() races

["Luck, Tony" <tony.luck@intel.com>]

There can be races when multiple CPUs consume poison from the same
page. The first into memory_failure() atomically sets the HWPoison
page flag and begins hunting for tasks that map this page. Eventually
it invalidates those mappings and may send a SIGBUS to the affected
tasks.

But while all that work is going on, other CPUs see a "success"
return code from memory_failure() and so they believe the error
has been handled and continue executing.

Fix by wrapping most of the internal parts of memory_failure() in
a mutex.
