3.13.11-ckt27 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?Marek=20Marczykowski-G=C3=B3recki?=

commit 30b03d05e07467b8c6ec683ea96b5bffcbcd3931 upstream.

While gntdev_release() is called the MMU notifier is still registered
and can traverse priv->maps list even if no pages are mapped (which is
the case -- gntdev_release() is called after all). But
gntdev_release() will clear that list, so make sure that only one of
those things happens at the same time.
