[S390] fix recursive locking on page_table_lock

Suzuki Poulose reported the following recursive locking bug on s390:

Here is the stack trace : (see Appendix I for more info)

  [<0000000000406ed6>] _spin_lock+0x52/0x94

  [<00000200001642b2>] 0x200001642b2

The page_table_lock is already acquired in __pmd_alloc (mm/memory.c) and
it tries to populate the pud/pgd with a new pmd allocated. If another
thread populates it before we get a chance, we free the pmd using
pmd_free().

On s390x, pmd_free(even pud_free ) is #defined to crst_table_free(),
which acquires the page_table_lock to protect the crst_table index updates.

Hence this ends up in a recursive locking of the page_table_lock.

The solution suggested by Dave Hansen is to use a new spin lock in the mmu
context to protect the access to the crst_list and the pgtable_list.

The vmur class is allocated after the CCW driver is registered
and it is destroyed before the CCW driver is unregistered.
This is not the correct sequence, because the vmur class can be used
via driver core callbacks that are triggered during the CCW driver
deregistration. For Example:

1. vmur device is online
2. vmur module is unloaded

This leads to the following function call stack:

    <4> [<0000000000387286>] device_destroy+0x36/0x5c
    <4> [<000003e000209714>] ur_set_offline_force+0x9c/0x10c [vmur]

In device_destroy() the vmur class is used. Since it is already freed,
this can lead to a kernel panic.

To fix the problem, the vmur class has to be allocated before the CCW
driver is registered and destroyed after the CCW driver has ben unregistered.
