Tejun Heo e3977e0609 Revert "kernfs: convert kernfs_idr_lock to an irq safe raw spinlock"
This reverts commit dad3fb67ca1cbef87ce700e83a55835e5921ce8a.

The commit converted kernfs_idr_lock to an IRQ-safe raw_spinlock because it
could be acquired while holding an rq lock through bpf_cgroup_from_id().
However, kernfs_idr_lock is held while doing GPF_NOWAIT allocations which
involves acquiring an non-IRQ-safe and non-raw lock leading to the following
lockdep warning:

Let's rever the commit. It's undesirable to spread out raw spinlock usage
anyway and the problem can be solved by protecting the lookup path with RCU
instead.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
