aio: v4 ensure access to ctx->ring_pages is correctly serialised for migration

As reported by Tang Chen, Gu Zheng and Yasuaki Isimatsu, the following issues
exist in the aio ring page migration support.

As a result, for example, we have the following problem:

            thread 1                      |              thread 2
                                          |
aio_migratepage()                         |
 |-> take ctx->completion_lock            |
 |-> migrate_page_copy(new, old)          |
 |   *NOW*, ctx->ring_pages[idx] == old   |
                                          |
                                          |    *NOW*, ctx->ring_pages[idx] == old
                                          |    aio_read_events_ring()
                                          |     |-> ring = kmap_atomic(ctx->ring_pages[0])
                                          |     |-> ring->head = head;          *HERE, write to the old ring page*
                                          |     |-> kunmap_atomic(ring);
                                          |
 |-> ctx->ring_pages[idx] = new           |
 |   *BUT NOW*, the content of            |
 |    ring_pages[idx] is old.             |
 |-> release ctx->completion_lock         |

As above, the new ring page will not be updated.

Fix this issue, as well as prevent races in aio_ring_setup() by holding
the ring_lock mutex during kioctx setup and page migration.  This avoids
the overhead of taking another spinlock in aio_read_events_ring() as Tang's
and Gu's original fix did, pushing the overhead into the migration code.

Note that to handle the nesting of ring_lock inside of mmap_sem, the
migratepage operation uses mutex_trylock().  Page migration is not a 100%
critical operation in this case, so the ocassional failure can be
tolerated.  This issue was reported by Sasha Levin.

Based on feedback from Linus, avoid the extra taking of ctx->completion_lock.
Instead, make page migration fully serialised by mapping->private_lock, and
have aio_free_ring() simply disconnect the kioctx from the mapping by calling
put_aio_ring_file() before touching ctx->ring_pages[].  This simplifies the
error handling logic in aio_migratepage(), and should improve robustness.

v4: always do mutex_unlock() in cases when kioctx setup fails.
