Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/mm/kmmio: Switch to arch_spin_lock()

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org>

The mmiotrace tracer is "special". The purpose is to help reverse engineer
binary drivers by removing the memory allocated by the driver and when the
driver goes to access it, a fault occurs, the mmiotracer will record what
the driver was doing and then do the work on its behalf by single stepping
through the process.

But to achieve this ability, it must do some special things. One is it
needs to grab a lock while in the breakpoint handler. This is considered
an NMI state, and then lockdep warns that the lock is being held in both
an NMI state (really a breakpoint handler) and also in normal context.

As the breakpoint/NMI state only happens when the driver is accessing
memory, there's no concern of a race condition against the setup and
tear-down of mmiotracer.

To make lockdep and mmiotrace work together, convert the locks used in the
breakpoint handler into arch_spin_lock().
