Jian Jun Chen 46b157008c dm: file lock should be held till all mmap is done
Lock should be held till all the mmap operations are done. This is to
avoid the mmap failure when multiple guests are created concurrently.
For example consider the following case in which vm1 and vm2 are
created by acrnd concurrently:
- vm1 is created with 4G+2M memory.
- 4G+2M memory is reserved in hugetlb now and vm1 continues to
  allocate memory for the lowmem without lock held.
- 2G memory is allocated by vm1 for its lowmem, and 2G+2M memory
  is available in hugetlb.
- At this time vm2 is created with 1G+2M memory. It finds that enough
  memory is reserved (2G+2M), so it does not try to reserve more
  memory.
- vm2 allocates some memory for its lowmem/highmem/ovmf.
- vm1 tries to allocate memory for its highmem/ovmf, the allocation
  will fail. vm1 creation failed in this case.

Introduction
============
The ACRN Device Model provides **device sharing** capabilities between the
Service OS and Guest OSs. It is a component that is used in conjunction with
the `ACRN Hypervisor`_ and this is installed within the Service OS. You can
find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_ website.
