David Hildenbrand a89b91fcb0 powerpc/powernv/memtrace: Fix crashing the kernel when enabling concurrently
commit d6718941a2767fb383e105d257d2105fe4f15f0e upstream.

It's very easy to crash the kernel right now by simply trying to
enable memtrace concurrently, hammering on the "enable" interface

loop.sh:
  #!/bin/bash

  dmesg --console-off

  while true; do
          echo 0x40000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/memtrace/enable
  done

[root@localhost ~]# loop.sh &
[root@localhost ~]# loop.sh &

Resulting quickly in a kernel crash. Let's properly protect using a
mutex.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
