[PATCH 05/18] mm, hugetlb: protect region tracking via newly introduced resv_map lock

[Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com>]

There is a race condition if we map a same file on different processes.
Region tracking is protected by mmap_sem and hugetlb_instantiation_mutex.
When we do mmap, we don't grab a hugetlb_instantiation_mutex, but,
grab a mmap_sem. This doesn't prevent other process to modify region
structure, so it can be modified by two processes concurrently.

To solve this, I introduce a lock to resv_map and make region manipulation
function grab a lock before they do actual work. This makes region
tracking safe.
