die() can be called in exception handler, and therefore cannot sleep.
However, die() takes spinlock_t which can sleep with PREEMPT_RT enabled.
That causes the following warning:

stable backport is probably not needed for versions earlier than 6.12
because PREEMPT_RT is not enabled. But it doesn't hurt..

The die_lock() is probably do let one CPU die at a time. On x86 there is
support for for recursive die so if it happens, you don't spin on the
die_lock and see nothing. Not sure if this is a thing.

Looks like the RISC-V code is pretty much the same as the arm64 code, so
it probably just came from there. I don't really know what the right
answer is here...
