[PATCH] ledtrig-cpu: use spin_lock to replace mutex lock

From: Bryan Wu
Date: Thu Oct 18 2012 - 14:19:05 EST


Mutex lock is not safe in atomic context like the bug reported by
Miles Lane:

---
ACPI: Preparing to enter system sleep state S3
PM: Saving platform NVS memory
Disabling non-boot CPUs ...
numa_remove_cpu cpu 1 node 0: mask now 0
Broke affinity for irq 46
smpboot: CPU 1 is now offline
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:269

This patch replace mutex lock with spin lock which is safe for this case.
