Christian Borntraeger 250cf776f7 [S390] pgtables: Fix race in enable_sie vs. page table ops
The current enable_sie code sets the mm->context.pgstes bit to tell
dup_mm that the new mm should have extended page tables. This bit is also
used by the s390 specific page table primitives to decide about the page
table layout - which means context.pgstes has two meanings. This can cause
any kind of bugs. For example  - e.g. shrink_zone can call
ptep_clear_flush_young while enable_sie is running. ptep_clear_flush_young
will test for context.pgstes. Since enable_sie changed that value of the old
struct mm without changing the page table layout ptep_clear_flush_young will
do the wrong thing.
The solution is to split pgstes into two bits
- one for the allocation
- one for the current state
