KVM: s390: fix locking order problem in enable_sie
There are potential locking problem in enable_sie. We take the task_lock and the mmap_sem. As exit_mm uses the same locks vice versa, this triggers a lockdep warning. The second problem is that dup_mm and mmput might sleep, so we must not hold the task_lock at that moment. The solution is to dup the mm unconditional and use the task_lock before and afterwards to check if we can use the new mm. dup_mm and mmput are called outside the task_lock, but we run update_mm while holding the task_lock, protection us against ptrace.
