[PATCH 14/15] dm kcopyd: change mutex to spinlock

From: Mikulas Patocka
Date: Thu Dec 10 2015 - 12:31:43 EST


job->lock is only taken for a finite amount of time and the process
doesn't block while holding it, so change it from mutex to spinlock.

This change is needed for the next patch that makes it possible to call
segment_complete from an interrupt. Taking mutexes inside an interrupt is
not allowed.
