kexec: use a mutex for locking rather than xchg()
Functionally the same, but more conventional. Cc: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Tested-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
