snapshot: Use pm_mutex for mutual exclusion
We can avoid taking the BKL in snapshot_ioctl() if pm_mutex is used to prevent the ioctls from being executed concurrently. In addition, although it is only possible to open /dev/snapshot once, the task which has done that may spawn a child that will inherit the open descriptor, so in theory they can call snapshot_write(), snapshot_read() and snapshot_release() concurrently. pm_mutex can also be used for mutual exclusion in such cases.
