[PATCH v1 03/11] fs/proc/vmcore: disallow vmcore modifications after the vmcore was opened

[David Hildenbrand]

Let's protect all vmcore modifications by the vmcore_mutex and
disallow vmcore modifications after the vmcore was opened: modifications
would no longer be safe. Properly synchronize against concurrent opening
of the vmcore.

As a nice side-effect, we now properly protect concurrent vmcore
modifications.

No need to grab the mutex during mmap()/read(): after we opened the
vmcore, modifications are impossible.
