[PATCH] sh: fix mmap_sem deadlock in sys_cacheflush

[Adam Iwaniuk <adami@cubiware.com>]

From: Adam Iwaniuk <adami@cubiware.com>

We can't be holding the mmap_sem while calling __flush_XXX_region/flush_icache_range
because the flush can fault. If we fault on a user address, the page fault handler
will try to take mmap_sem again. Since both places acquire the read lock, most of the
time it succeeds. However, if another thread tries to acquire the write lock on the
mmap_sem (e.g. mmap) in between the call to __flush_XXX_region/flush_icache_range and
the fault, the down_read in do_page_fault will deadlock.
