commit 5331d9ca upstream.

Commit e647b532 ("ACPI: Add early device probing infrastructure")
introduced code that allows inserting driver specific
struct acpi_probe_entry probe entries into ACPI linker sections
(one per-subsystem, eg irqchip, clocksource) that are then walked
to retrieve the data and function hooks required to probe the
respective kernel components.

Probing for all entries in a section is triggered through
the __acpi_probe_device_table() function, that in turn, according
to the table ID a given probe entry reports parses the table
with the function retrieved from the respective section structures
(ie struct acpi_probe_entry). Owing to the current ACPI table
parsing implementation, the __acpi_probe_device_table() function
has to share global variables with the acpi_match_madt() function, so
in order to guarantee mutual exclusion locking is required
between the two functions.

Current kernel code implements the locking through the acpi_probe_lock
spinlock; this has the side effect of requiring all code called
within the lock (ie struct acpi_probe_entry.probe_{table/subtbl} hooks)
not to sleep.

However, kernel subsystems that make use of the early probing
infrastructure are relying on kernel APIs that may sleep (eg
irq_domain_alloc_fwnode(), among others) in the function calls
pointed at by struct acpi_probe_entry.{probe_table/subtbl} entries
(eg gic_v2_acpi_init()), which is a bug.

Since __acpi_probe_device_table() is called from context
that is allowed to sleep the acpi_probe_lock spinlock can be replaced
with a mutex; this fixes the issue whilst still guaranteeing
mutual exclusion.
