uio: fix possible circular locking dependency

The call trace:
XXX/1910 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff97008c87>] might_fault+0x57/0xb0

but task is already holding lock:
 (&idev->info_lock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffffc0638a06>] uio_write+0x46/0x130 [uio]

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

-> #1 (&idev->info_lock){+.+...}:
       [<ffffffff96f31fc9>] lock_acquire+0x99/0x1e0
       [<ffffffff975edad3>] mutex_lock_nested+0x93/0x410

       [<ffffffff96f31fc9>] lock_acquire+0x99/0x1e0
       [<ffffffff97008cb4>] might_fault+0x84/0xb0
       [<ffffffffc0638a74>] uio_write+0xb4/0x130 [uio]
       [<ffffffff9706ffa3>] vfs_write+0xc3/0x1f0
