Subject: mm/mmu_notifier.c: fix race in mmu_interval_notifier_remove()

In some cases it is possible for mmu_interval_notifier_remove() to race
with mn_tree_inv_end() allowing it to return while the notifier data
structure is still in use.  Consider the following sequence:

CPU0 - mn_tree_inv_end()            CPU1 - mmu_interval_notifier_remove()
----------------------------------- ------------------------------------
                                    spin_lock(subscriptions->lock);
                                    seq = subscriptions->invalidate_seq;
spin_lock(subscriptions->lock);     spin_unlock(subscriptions->lock);
subscriptions->invalidate_seq++;
                                    wait_event(invalidate_seq != seq);
                                    return;
interval_tree_remove(interval_sub); kfree(interval_sub);
spin_unlock(subscriptions->lock);
wake_up_all();

As the wait_event() condition is true it will return immediately.  This
can lead to use-after-free type errors if the caller frees the data
structure containing the interval notifier subscription while it is still
on a deferred list.  Fix this by taking the appropriate lock when reading
invalidate_seq to ensure proper synchronisation.
