Mikulas Patocka af4fc583fd dm-snapshot: fix 'scheduling while atomic' on real-time kernels
[ Upstream commit 8581b19eb2c5ccf06c195d3b5468c3c9d17a5020 ]

There is reported 'scheduling while atomic' bug when using dm-snapshot on
real-time kernels. The reason for the bug is that the hlist_bl code does
preempt_disable() when taking the lock and the kernel attempts to take
other spinlocks while holding the hlist_bl lock.

Fix this by converting a hlist_bl spinlock into a regular spinlock.

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.
