David Hildenbrand cd2eda58ea powerpc/powernv/memtrace: Fix crashing the kernel when enabling concurrently
commit d6718941a2767fb383e105d257d2105fe4f15f0e upstream.

It's very easy to crash the kernel right now by simply trying to
enable memtrace concurrently, hammering on the "enable" interface

loop.sh:
  #!/bin/bash

  dmesg --console-off

  while true; do
          echo 0x40000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/memtrace/enable
  done

[root@localhost ~]# loop.sh &
[root@localhost ~]# loop.sh &

Resulting quickly in a kernel crash. Let's properly protect using a
mutex.
