splat atomic:64-bit: Create thread outside spin lock

The Fedora 3.6 debug kernel identified the following issue where
we create a thread under a spin lock.  This isn't safe because
sleeping could result in a deadlock.  Therefore the lock is changed
to a mutex so it's safe to sleep.

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slub.c:930
  in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 10583, name: splat
  1 lock held by splat/10583:
