[POWERPC] spufs: Fix bitrot of the SPU mmap facility
It looks like we've had some serious bitrot there mostly due to tracking
of address_space's of mmap'ed files getting out of sync with the actual
mmap code. The mfc, mss and psmap were not tracked properly and thus
not invalidated on context switches (oops !)
I also removed the various file->f_mapping = inode->i_mapping;
assignments that were done in the other open() routines since that
is already done for us by __dentry_open.
One improvement we might want to do later is to assign the various
ctx-> fields at mmap time instead of file open/close time so that we
don't call unmap_mapping_range() on thing that have not been mmap'ed
Finally, I added some smp_wmb's after assigning the ctx-> fields to make
sure they are visible to other CPUs. I don't think this is really
necessary as I suspect locking in the fs layer will make that happen
anyway but better safe than sorry.
