Subject: [PATCH v2] pstore: pass allocated memory region back to caller
The buf_lock cannot be held while populating the inodes, so make the backend
pass forward an allocated and filled buffer instead. This solves the following
backtrace. The effect is that "buf" is only ever used to notify the backends
that something was written to it, and shouldn't be used in the read path.
To replace the buf_lock during the read path, isolate the open/read/close
loop with a separate mutex to maintain serialized access to the backend.
