Crash: add lock to serialize crash hotplug handling
Eric reported that handling corresponding crash hotplug event can be failed easily when many memory hotplug event are notified in a short period. They failed because failing to take __kexec_lock. ======= [ 78.714569] Fallback order for Node 0: 0 [ 78.714575] Built 1 zonelists, mobility grouping on. Total pages: 1817886 [ 78.717133] Policy zone: Normal [ 78.724423] crash hp: kexec_trylock() failed, elfcorehdr may be inaccurate [ 78.727207] crash hp: kexec_trylock() failed, elfcorehdr may be inaccurate [ 80.056643] PEFILE: Unsigned PE binary ======= The memory hotplug events are notified very quickly and very many, while the handling of crash hotplug is much slower relatively. So the atomic variable __kexec_lock and kexec_trylock() can't guarantee the serialization of crash hotplug handling. Here, add a new mutex lock __crash_hotplug_lock to serialize crash hotplug handling specifically. This doesn't impact the usage of __kexec_lock.
