mm: xip/ext2 fix block allocation race
...
XIP can call into get_xip_mem concurrently with the same file,offset with
create=1. This usually maps down to get_block, which expects the page
lock to prevent such a situation. This causes ext2 to explode for one
reason or another.
Serialise those calls for the moment. For common usages today, I suspect
get_xip_mem rarely is called to create new blocks. In future as XIP
technologies evolve we might need to look at which operations require
scalability, and rework the locking to suit.
