Andre Detsch 36ddbb1380 [POWERPC] spufs: Fix race condition on gang->aff_ref_spu
Affinity reference point location (gang->aff_ref_spu) is reset
when the whole gang is descheduled. However, the last member of
a gang can be descheduled while we are trying to schedule another
member of the gang. This was leading to a race condition, and
the code was using gang->aff_ref_spu in an unsafe manner.

By holding the gang->aff_mutex a little bit longer, and increment
gang->aff_sched_count (which controls when gang->aff_ref_spu
should be reset) a little bit earlier, the problem is fixed.
