Sebastian Andrzej Siewior bf11b9a8e9 shmem: use raw_spinlock_t for ->stat_lock
Each CPU has SHMEM_INO_BATCH inodes available in `->ino_batch' which is
per-CPU.  Access here is serialized by disabling preemption.  If the pool
is empty, it gets reloaded from `->next_ino'.  Access here is serialized
by ->stat_lock which is a spinlock_t and can not be acquired with disabled
preemption.

One way around it would make per-CPU ino_batch struct containing the inode
number a local_lock_t.

Another solution is to promote ->stat_lock to a raw_spinlock_t.  The
critical sections are short.  The mpol_put() must be moved outside of the
critical section to avoid invoking the destructor with disabled
preemption.
