    x86/mm: Take the p2m lock even in shadow mode.
    
    The reworking of p2m lookups to use get_gfn()/put_gfn() left the
    shadow code not taking the p2m lock, even in cases where the p2m would
    be updated (i.e. PoD).
    
    In many cases, shadow code doesn't need the exclusion that
    get_gfn()/put_gfn() provides, as it has its own interlocks against p2m
    updates, but this is taking things too far, and can lead to crashes in
    the PoD code.
    
    Now that most shadow-code p2m lookups are done with explicitly
    unlocked accessors, or with the get_page_from_gfn() accessor, which is
    often lock-free, we can just turn this locking on.
    
    The remaining locked lookups are in sh_page_fault() (in a path that's
    almost always already serializing on the paging lock), and in
    emulate_map_dest() (which can probably be updated to use
    get_page_from_gfn()).  They're not addressed here but may be in a
    follow-up patch.
