x86/ldt: Rework locking
The LDT is duplicated on fork() and on exec(), which is wrong as exec() should start from a clean state, i.e. without LDT. To fix this the LDT duplication code will be moved into arch_dup_mmap() which is only called for fork(). This introduces a locking problem. arch_dup_mmap() holds mmap_sem of the parent process, but the LDT duplication code needs to acquire mm->context.lock to access the LDT data safely, which is the reverse lock order of write_ldt() where mmap_sem nests into context.lock. Solve this by introducing a new rw semaphore which serializes the read/write_ldt() syscall operations and use context.lock to protect the actual installment of the LDT descriptor. So context.lock stabilizes mm->context.ldt and can nest inside of the new semaphore or mmap_sem.
