staging/xgifb: Add mutext for fb_mmap locking
This adds a mutex for fb_mmap around smem_start and smem_len so the mutex inside the fb_mmap() is actually used. Changing of these fields before calling the framebuffer_register() are not mutexed. We check whether framebuffer_register has been called by reading fbinfo->count. See 537a1bf0 - "fbdev: add mutex for fb_mmap locking" by Krzysztof Helt for details.
