[IA64] Prefetch mmap_sem in ia64_do_page_fault()

Take a hint from an x86_64 optimization by Arjan van de Ven and use it
for ia64.  See 2c411e87666af81de44911f51b8fff0ffc244a38

Prefetch the mmap_sem, which is critical for the performance of the page fault
handler.

Note: mm may be NULL but I guess that is safe.
See e611cc67cd543a18746a57c50e27894fb44f8dc7
