[PATCH] mm: arches skip ptlock
Convert those few architectures which are calling pud_alloc, pmd_alloc, pte_alloc_map on a user mm, not to take the page_table_lock first, nor drop it after. Each of these can continue to use pte_alloc_map, no need to change over to pte_alloc_map_lock, they're neither racy nor swappable. In the sparc64 io_remap_pfn_range, flush_tlb_range then falls outside of the page_table_lock: that's okay, on sparc64 it's like flush_tlb_mm, and that has always been called from outside of page_table_lock in dup_mmap.
