s390/mm: fix vunmap vs finish_arch_post_lock_switch
The vunmap_pte_range() function calls ptep_get_and_clear() without any
locking. ptep_get_and_clear() uses ptep_xchg_lazy()/ptep_flush_direct()
for the page table update. ptep_flush_direct requires that preemption
is disabled, but without any locking this is not the case. If the kernel
preempts the task while the attach_counter is increased an endless loop
in finish_arch_post_lock_switch() will occur the next time the task is
scheduled.
Add explicit preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() calls to the relevant
functions in arch/s390/mm/pgtable.c.
