IIUC this is executed to recover a fault condition already, so maybe
latencies are of no interest at that point, but I wonder if something
like
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.10.1/source/Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst#L434
would still work and save us from introducing a raw_spinlock?
Or maybe the critical section is anyway tiny and we don't care either?
Thanks,
Juri
