It was found that some tracing functions acquire a arch_spinlock_t with
preemption and irqs enabled.  That can be problematic in case preemption
happens after acquiring the lock. Use the proper do_arch_spin_lock()
API with preemption disabled to make sure that this won't happen unless
it is obvious that either preemption or irqs has been disabled .

This should actually disable interrupts and not preemption.

Nothing here is needed, as interrupts had better be disabled when this
function is called. And there's already a:

	WARN_ON_ONCE(!irqs_disabled());

Same here. Interrupts had better be disabled in this function.

This is called within the scheduler and wake up, so interrupts had better
be disabled (run queue lock is held).

Keep this as is (with the open coded preempt_disable()).

Yeah, we should add preempt_disable() here.

And this should disable interrupts first.

I'm with Steve on not adding wrappers for this; people that use
arch_spinlock_* get to keep the pieces :-)

You can write that as lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled();

Of course we can ;-)  But this was written before that existed.

Yes, I am going to drop patch 1 and open-code all the changes in a new 
patch.
