I'm going to push the patch below to the s390 git tree later. This is not a
piece of art, but I wanted to avoid to externalize vmalloc's vmap_initialized,
or come up with some s390 specific change_page_attr_alias_early() variant where
sooner or later nobody remembers what "early" means.

So this seems to be "good enough".

Subject: [PATCH] s390/mm,pageattr: avoid early calls into vmalloc code

The vmalloc code got changed and doesn't have the global statically
initialized vmap_area_lock spinlock anymore. This leads to the following
lockdep splat when find_vm_area() is called before the vmalloc code is
initialized:

BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#0, swapper/0

INFO: lockdep is turned off.

Add a slab_is_available() check to change_page_attr_alias() in order to
avoid early calls into vmalloc code. slab_is_available() is not exactly
what is needed, but there is currently no other way to tell if the vmalloc
code is initialized or not, and there is no reason to expose
e.g. vmap_initialized from vmalloc to achieve the same.

The fixes tag does not mean that the referenced commit is broken, but that
there is a dependency to this commit if the vmalloc commit should be
backported.
