He Zhe 8c96f1bc6f mm/kmemleak: turn kmemleak_lock and object->lock to raw_spinlock_t
kmemleak_lock as a rwlock on RT can possibly be acquired in atomic
context which does work.

Since the kmemleak operation is performed in atomic context make it a
raw_spinlock_t so it can also be acquired on RT.  This is used for
debugging and is not enabled by default in a production like environment
(where performance/latency matters) so it makes sense to make it a
raw_spinlock_t instead trying to get rid of the atomic context.  Turn
also the kmemleak_object->lock into raw_spinlock_t which is acquired
(nested) while the kmemleak_lock is held.

The time spent in "echo scan > kmemleak" slightly improved on 64core box
with this patch applied after boot.

[bigeasy@linutronix.de: redo the description, update comments. Merge the individual bits:  He Zhe did the kmemleak_lock, Liu Haitao the ->lock and Yongxin Liu forwarded Liu's patch.]

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.
