Mike Snitzer b33b6fdca3 dm bufio: simplify DM_BUFIO_CLIENT_NO_SLEEP locking
Historically none of the bufio code runs in interrupt context but with
the use of DM_BUFIO_CLIENT_NO_SLEEP a bufio client can, see: commit
5721d4e5a9 ("dm verity: Add optional "try_verify_in_tasklet" feature")
That said, the new tasklet usecase still doesn't require interrupts be
disabled by bufio (let alone conditionally restore them).

Yet with PREEMPT_RT, and falling back from tasklet to workqueue, care
must be taken to properly synchronize between softirq and process
context, otherwise ABBA deadlock may occur. While it is unnecessary to
disable bottom-half preemption within a tasklet, we must consistently do
so in process context to ensure locking is in the proper order.

Fix these issues by switching from spin_lock_irq{save,restore} to using
spin_{lock,unlock}_bh instead. Also remove the 'spinlock_flags' member
in dm_bufio_client struct (that can be used unsafely if bufio must
recurse on behalf of some caller, e.g. block layer's submit_bio).

Fixes: 5721d4e5a9 ("dm verity: Add optional "try_verify_in_tasklet" feature")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
