fbdev: add mutex for fb_mmap locking
Add a mutex to avoid a circular locking problem between the mm layer
semaphore and fbdev ioctl mutex through the fb_mmap() call.
Also, add mutex to all places where smem_start and smem_len fields change
so the mutex inside the fb_mmap() is actually used. Changing of these
fields before calling the framebuffer_register() are not mutexed.
This is 2.6.31 material. It removes one lockdep (fb_mmap() and
register_framebuffer()) but there is still another one (fb_release() and
register_framebuffer()). It also cleans up handling of the smem_start and
smem_len fields used by mutexed section of the fb_mmap().
