A race between alternatives_text_reserved and alternatives_smp_module_del occured when traversing the global list smp_alt_modules in 3.4 kernel. It would casue a panic while reading smp_alt_modules->mod in alternatives_text_reserved func.

It also seems to exist in mainline.
This patch adds the mutex lock smp_alt to fix it.
