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

From: Jinjie Ruan ruanjinjie@huawei.com
In linux-6.1, the related code is refactored in commit 124c49b1b5d9 ("arm64: armv8_deprecated: rework deprected instruction handling") and this issue was incidentally fixed. I have adapted the patch set to linux stable 5.10. However, 4.19 and 5.10 are too different and the patch set is hard to adapt to 4.19.
This patch is to solve the problem of repeated addition of linked lists described below with few changes.
How to reproduce: CONFIG_ARMV8_DEPRECATED=y, CONFIG_SWP_EMULATION=y, and CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=y, then launch two shell executions: #!/bin/bash while [ 1 ]; do echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/swp done
or "echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/swp" and then aunch two shell executions: #!/bin/bash while [ 1 ]; do echo 0 > /proc/sys/abi/swp done
In emulation_proc_handler(), read and write operations are performed on insn->current_mode. In the concurrency scenario, mutex only protects writing insn->current_mode, and not protects the read. Suppose there are two concurrent tasks, task1 updates insn->current_mode to INSN_EMULATE in the critical section, the prev_mode of task2 is still the old data INSN_UNDEF of insn->current_mode. As a result, two tasks call update_insn_emulation_mode twice with prev_mode = INSN_UNDEF and current_mode = INSN_EMULATE, then call register_emulation_hooks twice, resulting in a list_add double problem.
After applying this patch, the following list add or list del double warnings never occur.
