When __p2m_get_mem_access gets called, the p2m lock is already taken
by either get_page_from_gva or p2m_get_mem_access.

Possible code paths:
1)	-> get_page_from_gva
		-> p2m_mem_access_check_and_get_page
			-> __p2m_get_mem_access
2)	-> p2m_get_mem_access
		-> __p2m_get_mem_access

In both cases if __p2m_get_mem_access subsequently gets to
call p2m_lookup (happens if !radix_tree_lookup(...)), a hypervisor
hang will occur, since p2m_lookup also spin-locks on the p2m lock.

This bug-fix simply replaces the p2m_lookup call from __p2m_get_mem_access
with a call to __p2m_lookup.

Following Ian's suggestion, we also add an ASSERT to ensure that
the p2m lock is taken upon __p2m_get_mem_access entry.

I thought this mail was not sent properly (didn't find it any longer on 
the web (?)) and I resent it just earlier.
I figured it must've been the fact that I forgot to put a "Changed since 
v1" section & that I didn't include an
"--in-reply-to" option. Apparently it was actually sent correctly.
Sorry, ignore the last one (which contains a "Changed since v1" section).

Corneliu.

OK, please check that what is currently in xen.git#staging is what you
think should be there.

Yep, just checked, the changes are there.
