Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drop_monitor: replace spin_lock by raw_spin_lock

trace_drop_common() is called with preemption disabled, and it acquires
a spin_lock. This is problematic for RT kernels because spin_locks are
sleeping locks in this configuration, which causes the following splat:

trace_drop_common() also disables interrupts, but this is a minor issue
because we could easily replace it with a local_lock.

Replace the spin_lock with raw_spin_lock to avoid sleeping in atomic
context.
