um: convert count_lock to mutex, fix a race in line_open()
If two processes are opening the same line, the second to get into line_open() will decide that it doesn't need to do anything (correctly) or wait for anything. The latter, unfortunately, is incorrect - the first opener might not be through yet. We need to have exclusion covering the entire line_init(), including the blocking parts. Moreover, the next patch will need to widen the exclusion on mconsole side of things, also including the blocking bits, so let's just convert that sucker to mutex...
