Josh Hunt aa2c96d6f3 drivers/misc/lkdtm.c: fix race when crashpoint is hit multiple times before checking count ...

We observed the crash point count going negative in cases where the
crash point is hit multiple times before the check of "count == 0" is
done.  Because of this we never call lkdtm_do_action().  This patch just
adds a spinlock to protect count.
