The arm boot_lock is used by the secondary processor startup code. The locking
task is the idle thread, which has idle->sched_class == &idle_sched_class.
idle_sched_class->enqueue_task == NULL, so if the idle task blocks on the
lock, the attempt to wake it when the lock becomes available will fail:
try_to_wake_up()
...
activate_task()
enqueue_task()
p->sched_class->enqueue_task(rq, p, flags)
Fix by converting boot_lock to a raw spin lock.

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.
