[PATCH] arm64: fix a concurrency issue in emulation_proc_handler()

[ruanjinjie]

In emulation_proc_handler(), read and write operations are performed on
insn->current_mode. In the concurrency scenario, mutex only protects
writing insn->current_mode, and not protects the read. Suppose there are
two concurrent tasks, task1 updates insn->current_mode to INSN_EMULATE
in the critical section, the prev_mode of task2 is still the old data
INSN_UNDEF of insn->current_mode. As a result, two tasks call
update_insn_emulation_mode twice with prev_mode = INSN_UNDEF and
current_mode = INSN_EMULATE, then call register_emulation_hooks twice,
resulting in a list_add double problem.

Call trace:
