Subject: [V2 PATCH 2/2] aio: fix the confliction of aio read events and aio
 migrate page

Since we do not have additional protection on the page at the read events
side, so it is possible that the read of the page takes place after the
page has been freed and allocated to another part of the kernel. This
would result in the read returning invalid information.
As a result, for example, we have the following problem:

            thread 1                      |              thread 2
                                          |
aio_migratepage()                         |
 |-> take ctx->completion_lock            |
 |-> migrate_page_copy(new, old)          |
 |   *NOW*, ctx->ring_pages[idx] == old   |
                                          |
                                          |    *NOW*, ctx->ring_pages[idx] == old
                                          |    aio_read_events_ring()
                                          |     |-> ring = kmap_atomic(ctx->ring_pages[0])
                                          |     |-> ring->head = head;          *HERE, write to the old ring page*
                                          |     |-> kunmap_atomic(ring);
                                          |
 |-> ctx->ring_pages[idx] = new           |
 |   *BUT NOW*, the content of            |
 |    ring_pages[idx] is old.             |
 |-> release ctx->completion_lock         |

As above, the new ring page will not be updated.

Fix this issue, as well as prevent races in aio_ring_setup() by taking
the ring_lock mutex and completion_lock during page migration and where
otherwise applicable.

v2:
Merged Tang Chen's patch to use the spin_lock to protect the ring buffer update.
Use ring_lock rather than the additional spin_lock as Benjamin LaHaise suggested.
