Grab mm lock before grabbing pt lock
[ Upstream commit 6d002348789bc16e9203e9818b7a3688787e3b29 ]
Function xen_pin_page calls xen_pte_lock, which in turn grab page
table lock (ptlock). When locking, xen_pte_lock expect mm->page_table_lock
to be held before grabbing ptlock, but this does not happen when pinning
is caused by xen_mm_pin_all.
This commit addresses lockdep warning below, which shows up when
suspending a Xen VM.
