ARM: 7559/1: smp: switch away from the idmap before updating init_mm.mm_count

Browse Source 
commit 5f40b90972 upstream.

When booting a secondary CPU, the primary CPU hands two sets of page
tables via the secondary_data struct:

	(1) swapper_pg_dir: a normal, cacheable, shared (if SMP) mapping
	    of the kernel image (i.e. the tables used by init_mm).

	(2) idmap_pgd: an uncached mapping of the .idmap.text ELF
	    section.

The idmap is generally used when enabling and disabling the MMU, which
includes early CPU boot. In this case, the secondary CPU switches to
swapper as soon as it enters C code:

	struct mm_struct *mm = &init_mm;
	unsigned int cpu = smp_processor_id();

	/*
	 * All kernel threads share the same mm context; grab a
	 * reference and switch to it.
	 */
	atomic_inc(&mm->mm_count);
	current->active_mm = mm;
	cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(mm));
	cpu_switch_mm(mm->pgd, mm);

This causes a problem on ARMv7, where the identity mapping is treated as
strongly-ordered leading to architecturally UNPREDICTABLE behaviour of
exclusive accesses, such as those used by atomic_inc.

This patch re-orders the secondary_start_kernel function so that we
switch to swapper before performing any exclusive accesses.
