[PATCH 1/2] kthread: convert worker lock to raw spinlock

From: Julia Cartwright
Date: Fri Sep 28 2018 - 17:04:42 EST


In order to enable the queuing of kthread work items from hardirq
context even when PREEMPT_RT_FULL is enabled, convert the worker
spin_lock to a raw_spin_lock.

This is only acceptable to do because the work performed under the lock
is well-bounded and minimal.
