ARM: 9485/1: mm: acquire mmap write lock around show_pte() for user faultsgrafted

When CONFIG_DEBUG_USER=y, and cmdline "user_debug=31" is set,
a user fault may trigger show_pte() without any lock.
If another thread in the same process concurrently calls munmap(),
the page table pages may be freed while show_pte() is still traversing
them, causing a use-after-free in show_pte().

If CONFIG_ARM_LPAE=y, this may cause a kernel panic if the pages table
of PMD are freed when show_pte() is running.

Acquire mmap_write_lock() around show_pte() for user faults to fix the
contention.

For user faults, additionally restrict that show_pte() is called only
when the addr is a user-space address (addr < TASK_SIZE). This is because
the lock of tsk->mm only protects the virtual memory of user address space,
furthermore, dumping the page tables of a kernel-space address for user
faults is unnecessary and may have security implications.

Keep everything unchanged for kernel faults, because the kernel is
already in the "oops" state, acquiring a lock may risk a deadlock.

+ * __vdso_futex_robust_list64_try_unlock - Try to unlock an uncontended robust futex
+ *					   with a 64-bit pending op pointer
+ * @lock:	Pointer to the futex lock object
+ * @tid:	The TID of the calling task
+ * @pop:	Pointer to the task's robust_list_head::list_pending_op

+ * Return: The content of *@lock. On success this is the same as @tid.
+ *
+ * The function implements:
+ *	if (atomic_try_cmpxchg(lock, &tid, 0))
+ *		*op = NULL;
+ *	return tid;
+ *
+ * There is a race between a successful unlock and clearing the pending op
+ * pointer in the robust list head. If the calling task is interrupted in the
+ * race window and has to handle a (fatal) signal on return to user space then
+ * the kernel handles the clearing of @pending_op before attempting to deliver
+ * the signal. That ensures that a task cannot exit with a potentially invalid
+ * pending op pointer.
+ *
+ * User space uses it in the following way:
+ *
+ * if (__vdso_futex_robust_list64_try_unlock(lock, tid, &pending_op) != tid)
+ *	err = sys_futex($OP | FUTEX_ROBUST_UNLOCK,....);
+ *
+ * If the unlock attempt fails due to the FUTEX_WAITERS bit set in the lock,
+ * then the syscall does the unlock, clears the pending op pointer and wakes the
+ * requested number of waiters.
