Brian Gianforcaro 2d06f6399f Kernel: Fix SMP deadlock in MM::allocate_contiguous_physical_pages ...

This deadlock was introduced with the creation of this API. The lock
order is such that we always need to take the page directory lock
before we ever take the MM lock.

This function violated that, as both Region creation and region
destruction require the pd and mm locks, but with the mm lock
already acquired we deadlocked with SMP mode enabled while other
threads were allocating regions.

With this change SMP boots to the desktop successfully for me,
(and then subsequently has other issues). :^)
