Rafael J. Wysocki 25f2f3daad snapshot: Use pm_mutex for mutual exclusion
We can avoid taking the BKL in snapshot_ioctl() if pm_mutex is used to prevent
the ioctls from being executed concurrently.

In addition, although it is only possible to open /dev/snapshot once, the task
which has done that may spawn a child that will inherit the open descriptor,
so in theory they can call snapshot_write(), snapshot_read() and
snapshot_release() concurrently.  pm_mutex can also be used for mutual
exclusion in such cases.
