mm: mmap_lock: use local locks instead of disabling preemption
mmap_lock will explicitly disable/enable preemption upon manipulating its
local CPU variables. This is to be expected, but in this case, it doesn't
play well with PREEMPT_RT. The preemption disabled code section also
takes a spin-lock. Spin-locks in RT systems will try to schedule, which
is exactly what we're trying to avoid.
To mitigate this, convert the explicit preemption handling to local_locks.
Which are RT aware, and will disable migration instead of preemption when
PREEMPT_RT=y.
The faulty call trace looks like the following:
__mmap_lock_do_trace_*()
preempt_disable()
get_mm_memcg_path()
cgroup_path()
kernfs_path_from_node()
spin_lock_irqsave() /* Scheduling while atomic! */
