x86: MCE: Add raw_lock conversion again
Commit ea431643d6c3 ("x86/mce: Fix CMCI preemption bugs") breaks RT by
the completely unrelated conversion of the cmci_discover_lock to a
regular (non raw) spinlock. This lock was annotated in commit
59d958d2c7de ("locking, x86: mce: Annotate cmci_discover_lock as raw")
with a proper explanation why.
The argument for converting the lock back to a regular spinlock was:
- it does percpu ops without disabling preemption. Preemption is not
disabled due to the mistaken use of a raw spinlock.
Which is complete nonsense. The raw_spinlock is disabling preemption in
the same way as a regular spinlock. In mainline spinlock maps to
raw_spinlock, in RT spinlock becomes a "sleeping" lock.
raw_spinlock has on RT exactly the same semantics as in mainline. And
because this lock is taken in non preemptible context it must be raw on
RT.
Undo the locking brainfart.
