Our locking order is that the tb lock should be taken
inside the mmap_lock, but fork_start() grabs locks the
other way around. This means that if a heavily multithreaded
guest process (such as Java) calls fork() it can deadlock,
with the thread that called fork() stuck in fork_start()
with the tb lock and waiting for the mmap lock, but some
other thread in tb_find() with the mmap lock and waiting
for the tb lock. The cpu_list_lock() should also always be
taken last, not first.
Fix this by making fork_start() grab the locks in the
right order. The order in which we drop locks doesn't
matter, so we leave fork_end() the way it is.
