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.
Fixes: 9d5171a8f248 ("powerpc/powernv: Enable removal of memory for in memory tracing")
