Subject: [PATCH] tty/sysrq: Convert show_lock to raw_spinlock_t

At the moment show_lock is implemented using spin_lock_t and called from
an interrupt context on Arm64. The following backtrace was triggered by:

42sh# echo l > /proc/sysrq-trigger

[ 4432.073756] sysrq: SysRq : Show backtrace of all active CPUs

With RT-patches, spin_lock can now sleep and therefore cannot be used from
interrupt context. Use a raw_spin_lock instead to prevent the lock to
sleep.
