liveupdate: synchronize lazy initialization of FLB private state

Browse source

The luo_flb_get_private() function, which is responsible for lazily
initializing the private state of FLB objects, can be called concurrently
from multiple threads.  This creates a data race on the 'initialized' flag
and can lead to multiple executions of mutex_init() and INIT_LIST_HEAD()
on the same memory.

Introduce a static spinlock (luo_flb_init_lock) local to the function to
synchronize the initialization path.  Use smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() for memory ordering between the fast path and the slow
path.
