[PATCH 1/1] pgo: Fix sleep in atomic section in prf_open()

[Jarmo Tiitto]

In prf_open() the required buffer size can be so large that
vzalloc() may sleep thus triggering bug:

======

  ....
======

This patch avoids holding the prf_lock() while calling
vzalloc(). Problem with that is prf_buffer_size()
*must* be called with prf_lock() held and the buffer
size may change while we call vzalloc()

So first get buffer size, release the lock and allocate.
Then re-lock and call prf_serialize() that now checks if
the buffer is big enough. If not, the code loops.
