Subject: [PATCH] mm: Give kmap_lock before call flush_tlb_kernel_rang，avoid kmap_high deadlock.

Use kmap_high and kmap_XXX or kumap_xxx among differt cores at the same
time may cause deadlock. The issue is like this：

 CPU 0:                                                 CPU 1:
 kmap_high(){                                           kmap_xxx() {
               ...                                        irq_disable();
        spin_lock(&kmap_lock)
               ...
        map_new_virtual                                     ...
           flush_all_zero_pkmaps
              flush_tlb_kernel_range         /* CPU0 holds the kmap_lock */
                      smp_call_function_many         spin_lock(&kmap_lock)
                      ...                                   ....
        spin_unlock(&kmap_lock)
               ...

CPU 0 holds the kmap_lock, waiting for CPU 1 respond to IPI. But CPU 1
has disabled irqs, waiting for kmap_lock, cannot answer the IPI. Fix
this by releasing  kmap_lock before call flush_tlb_kernel_range,
avoid kmap_lock deadlock.
