[PATCH 05/11] uml ubd driver: change ubd_lock to be a mutex

[Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso]

From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@xxxxxxxx>

This lock protects ubd setup and teardown, so is only used in process context;
beyond that, during such setup memory allocations must be performed and some
generic functions which can sleep must be called (such as add_disk()). So
the only correct solution is to make it a mutex instead of a spin_lock.
No other change is done - this lock must be acquired in different places but
it's done afterwards.
