powerpc/spufs: fix aff_mutex and cbe_spu_info[n].list_mutex deadlock
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Currenlt,, it is possible to lock aff_mutex and
cbe_spu_info[n].list_mutex in different orders, allowing a deadlock to
occur. With this change, aff_mutex is not taken within a list_mutex
critical section anymore.
