ashmem: avoid deadlock between read and mmap calls

Avoid holding ashmem_mutex across code that can page fault.  Page faults
grab the mmap_sem for the process, which are also held by mmap calls
prior to calling ashmem_mmap, which locks ashmem_mutex.  The reversed
order of locking between the two can deadlock.

The calls that can page fault are read() and the ASHMEM_SET_NAME and
ASHMEM_GET_NAME ioctls.  Move the code that accesses userspace pages
outside the ashmem_mutex.

ARM: Allow SoCs to enable scatterlist chaining

Allow SoCs to enable the scatterlist chaining support, which allows
scatterlist tables to be broken up into smaller allocations.

As support for this feature depends on the implementation details of
the users of the scatterlists, we can't enable this globally without
auditing all the users, which is a very big task.  Instead, let SoCs
progressively switch over to using this.

SoC drivers using scatterlists and SoC DMA implementations need
auditing before this option can be enabled for the SoC.

misc: uidstat: avoid create_stat() race and blockage.

* create_stat() race would lead to:
