x86/ldt: Make modify_ldt synchronous
CVE-2017-5754
commit 37868fe113ff2ba814b3b4eb12df214df555f8dc upstream.
modify_ldt() has questionable locking and does not synchronize
threads. Improve it: redesign the locking and synchronize all
threads' LDTs using an IPI on all modifications.
This will dramatically slow down modify_ldt in multithreaded
programs, but there shouldn't be any multithreaded programs that
care about modify_ldt's performance in the first place.
This fixes some fallout from the CVE-2015-5157 fixes.
