[PATCH] mm/kasan: make quarantine_lock a raw_spinlock_t

The static lock quarantine_lock is used in quarantine.c to protect the
quarantine queue datastructures. It is taken inside quarantine queue
manipulation routines (quarantine_put(), quarantine_reduce() and
quarantine_remove_cache()), with IRQs disabled.
This is not a problem on a stock kernel but is problematic on an RT
kernel where spin locks are sleeping spinlocks, which can sleep and can
not be acquired with disabled interrupts.

Convert the quarantine_lock to a raw spinlock_t. The usage of
quarantine_lock is confined to quarantine.c and the work performed while
the lock is held is used for debug purpose.

If you really insist, I could add something but this didn't happen so
far. git's changelog should provide enough information why to why it was
changed.
