Lockdep noticed that there is chance for a deadlock if we have
concurrent mmap, concurrent read, and the addition/removal of a
callback.

As nicely explained by Boqun:

"
Lockdep warned about the above sequences because rw_semaphore is a fair
read-write lock, and the following can cause a deadlock:

        TASK 1                  TASK 2          TASK 3
        ======                  ======          ======
        down_write(mmap_lock);
                                down_read(vmcore_cb_rwsem)
                                                down_write(vmcore_cb_rwsem); // 
blocked
        down_read(vmcore_cb_rwsem); // cannot get the lock because of the 
fairness
                                down_read(mmap_lock); // blocked

IOW, a reader can block another read if there is a writer queued by the
second reader and the lock is fair.
"

To fix, convert to srcu to make this deadlock impossible. We need srcu as
our callbacks can sleep. With this change, I cannot trigger any lockdep
warnings.
