fixmap is a global resource and is used recursively in create pud mapping.
It may lead to race condition when alloc_init_pud is called concurrently.

Fox example:
alloc_init_pud is called when kernel_init. If memory hotplug
thread, which will also call alloc_init_pud, happens during
kernel_init, the race for fixmap occurs.

Applied to arm64 (for-next/fixes), thanks!
