[PATCH 01/19] Coccinelle: locks: identify callers of spin_lock{,_irq,_irqsave}() in irqchip implementations

[Julia Cartwright]

On PREEMPT_RT, the spinlock_t type becomes an object which sleeps under
contention.  The codepaths used to support scheduling (irq dispatching, arch
code, the scheduler, timers) therefore must make use of the
raw_spin_lock{,_irq,_irqsave}() variations which preserve the non-sleeping
spinlock behavior.

Because the irq_chip callbacks are invoked in the process of interrupt
dispatch, they cannot therefore make use of spin_lock_t type.  Instead, the
usage of raw_spinlock_t is appropriate.

Provide a spatch to identify (and attempt to patch) such problematic irqchip
implementations.

Note to those generating patches using this spatch; in order to maintain
correct semantics w/ PREEMPT_RT, it is necessary to audit the
raw_spinlock_t-protected codepaths to ensure their execution is bounded and
minimal.  This is a manual audit process.

See commit 47b03ca903fb0 ("pinctrl: qcom: Use raw spinlock variants") as an
example of _one_ such instance, which fixed a real bug seen in the field.
