The reason is that vb2_fop_mmap and vb2_fop_get_unmapped_area take the core lock
while they are called with the mmap_sem semaphore held. But elsewhere in the code
the core lock is taken first but calls to copy_to/from_user() can take the mmap_sem
semaphore as well, potentially causing a classical A-B/B-A deadlock.

However, the mmap/get_unmapped_area calls really shouldn't take the core lock
at all. So what would happen if they don't take the core lock anymore?

There are two situations that need to be taken into account: calling mmap while
new buffers are being added and calling mmap while buffers are being deleted.

The first case works almost fine without a lock: in all cases mmap relies on
correctly filled-in q->num_buffers/q->num_planes values and those are only
updated by reqbufs and create_buffers *after* any new buffers have been
initialized completely. Except in one case: if an error occurred while allocating
the buffers it will increase num_buffers and rely on __vb2_queue_free to
decrease it again. So there is a short period where the buffer information
may be wrong.

The second case definitely does pose a problem: buffers may be in the process
of being deleted, without the internal structure being updated.

In order to fix this a new mutex is added to vb2_queue that is taken when
buffers are allocated or deleted, and in vb2_mmap. That way vb2_mmap won't
get stale buffer data. Note that this is a problem only for MEMORY_MMAP, so
even though __qbuf_userptr and __qbuf_dmabuf also mess around with buffers
(mem_priv in particular), this doesn't clash with vb2_mmap or
vb2_get_unmapped_area since those are MMAP specific.

As an additional bonus the hack in __buf_prepare, the USERPTR case, can be
removed as well since mmap() no longer takes the core lock.

All in all a much cleaner solution.
