um: Remove BKL from mmapper
cycle_kernel_lock() was added during the big BKL pushdown. It should ensure the serializiation against driver init code. mmapper_open() cannot be called before misc_register() succeeded, but p_buf might be uninitialized. Move the initialization of p_buf before the misc_register() call and get rid of cycle_kernel_lock().
