msm: Kconfig: Disable SPARSEMEM for A-Family targets

SPARSEMEM is no longer needed since the features that required it
(memory hotplug, for example) have been superseded by other
solutions. Remove it since it introduces overhead.

Revert "ashmem: avoid deadlock between read and mmap calls"

This reverts commit cd9c067039e5f1acf8cb2442e96ecac9ddd25c66.
staging: android: ashmem: get_name,set_name not to hold ashmem_mutex

Problem:
There exists a path in ashmem driver that could lead to acquistion
of mm->mmap_sem, ashmem_mutex in reverse order. This could lead
to deadlock in the system.
For Example, assume that mmap is called on a ashmem region
in the context of a thread say T1.
 sys_mmap_pgoff (1. acquires mm->mmap_sem)
  |
   --> mmap_region
 	|
         ----> ashmem_mmap (2. acquires asmem_mutex)
 Now if there is a context switch after 1 and before 2,
 and if another thread T2 (that shares the mm struct) invokes an
 ioctl say ASHMEM_GET_NAME, this can lead to the following path

ashmem_ioctl
  |
  -->get_name (3. acquires ashmem_mutex)
	|
	---> copy_to_user (4. acquires the mm->mmap_sem)
Note that the copy_to_user could lead to a valid fault if no
physical page is allocated yet for the user address passed.
Now T1 has mmap_sem and is waiting for ashmem_mutex.
and T2 has the ashmem_mutex and is waiting for mmap_sem
Thus leading to deadlock.

Solution:
Do not call copy_to_user or copy_from_user while holding the
ahsmem_mutex. Instead copy this to a local buffer that lives
in the stack while holding this lock. This will maintain data
integrity as well never reverse the lock order.

Testing:
Created a unit test case to reproduce the problem.
Used the same to test this fix on kernel version 3.4.0
Ported the same patch to 3.8

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.
