mm: xip/ext2 fix block allocation race

XIP can call into get_xip_mem concurrently with the same file,offset with
create=1.  This usually maps down to get_block, which expects the page
lock to prevent such a situation.  This causes ext2 to explode for one
reason or another.

Serialise those calls for the moment.  For common usages today, I suspect
get_xip_mem rarely is called to create new blocks.  In future as XIP
technologies evolve we might need to look at which operations require
scalability, and rework the locking to suit.
