um: Memory corruption on startup

The reverse case of this race (you must msync before read) is
well known. This is the not so common one.

It can be triggered only on systems which do a lot of task
switching and only at UML startup. If you are starting 200+ UMLs
~ 0.5% will always die without this fix.
