mm: mempolicy: Convert shared_policy mutex to spinlock

Sasha was fuzzing with trinity and reported the following problem:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:269
  in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 6361, name: trinity-main
  2 locks held by trinity-main/6361:
   #0:  (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff810aa314>] __do_page_fault+0x1e4/0x4f0
   #1:  (&(&mm->page_table_lock)->rlock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff8122f017>] handle_pte_fault+0x3f7/0x6a0
  Pid: 6361, comm: trinity-main Tainted: G        W
  3.7.0-rc2-next-20121024-sasha-00001-gd95ef01-dirty #74
  Call Trace:
    __might_sleep+0x1c3/0x1e0

    get_vma_policy+0x5a/0xa0
    mpol_misplaced+0x41/0x1d0
    handle_pte_fault+0x465/0x6a0

This was triggered by a different version of automatic NUMA balancing
but in theory the current version is vunerable to the same problem.

do_numa_page
  -> numa_migrate_prep
    -> mpol_misplaced
      -> get_vma_policy
        -> shmem_get_policy

It's very unlikely this will happen as shared pages are not marked
pte_numa -- see the page_mapcount() check in change_pte_range() -- but
it is possible.

To address this, this patch restores sp->lock as originally implemented
by Kosaki Motohiro.  In the path where get_vma_policy() is called, it
should not be calling sp_alloc() so it is not necessary to treat the PTL
specially.
