xen: lock pte pages while pinning/unpinning

When a pagetable is created, it is made globally visible in the rmap
prio tree before it is pinned via arch_dup_mmap(), and remains in the
rmap tree while it is unpinned with arch_exit_mmap().

This means that other CPUs may race with the pinning/unpinning
process, and see a pte between when it gets marked RO and actually
pinned, causing any pte updates to fail with write-protect faults.

As a result, all pte pages must be properly locked, and only unlocked
once the pinning/unpinning process has finished.

In order to avoid taking spinlocks for the whole pagetable - which may
overflow the PREEMPT_BITS portion of preempt counter - it locks and pins
each pte page individually, and then finally pins the whole pagetable.
