blackfin: fix possible deadlock in decode_address()
Oleg Nesterov found an interesting deadlock possibility: > sysrq_showregs_othercpus() does smp_call_function(showacpu) > and showacpu() show_stack()->decode_address(). Now suppose that IPI > interrupts the task holding read_lock(tasklist). To fix this, blackfin should not grab the write_ variant of the tasklist lock, read_ one is enough.
