James Morse d8797b1257 arm64: Use a raw spinlock in __install_bp_hardening_cb()
__install_bp_hardening_cb() is called via stop_machine() as part
of the cpu_enable callback. To force each CPU to take its turn
when allocating slots, they take a spinlock.

With the RT patches applied, the spinlock becomes a mutex,
and we get warnings about sleeping while in stop_machine():

Switch this to a raw spinlock, as we know this is only called with
IRQs masked.

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.
