Subject: x86: cpa: simplify locking
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9a3dc7804e9856668caef41efc54179e61ffccc0;p=mv-sheeva.git

x86: cpa: simplify locking

further simplify cpa locking: since the largepage-split is a
slowpath, use the pgd_lock for the whole operation, intead
of the mmap_sem.

This also makes it suitable for DEBUG_PAGEALLOC purposes again.
