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.

The race condition flow can be:

*************** begin **************

kerenl_init thread                          virtio-mem workqueue thread
==================                          ======== ==================
alloc_init_pud(...)
  pudp = pud_set_fixmap_offset(..)          alloc_init_pud(...)
...                                         ...
    READ_ONCE(*pudp) //OK!                    pudp = pud_set_fixmap_offset(
...                                         ...
  pud_clear_fixmap() //fixmap break
                                              READ_ONCE(*pudp) //CRASH!

**************** end ***************

Hence, a spin lock is introduced to protect the fixmap during create pdg
mapping.

I am afraid there is a problem to take a spinlock there.
