ttyprintk: fix a potential deadlock in interrupt context issue
tpk_write()/tpk_close() could be interrupted when holding a mutex, then in timer handler tpk_write() may be called again trying to acquire same mutex, lead to deadlock. Google syzbot reported this issue with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP enabled: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:938 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 0, name: swapper/1 1 lock held by swapper/1/0: ... Call Trace: <IRQ> dump_stack+0x197/0x210 ___might_sleep.cold+0x1fb/0x23e __might_sleep+0x95/0x190 __mutex_lock+0xc5/0x13c0 mutex_lock_nested+0x16/0x20 tpk_write+0x5d/0x340 resync_tnc+0x1b6/0x320 call_timer_fn+0x1ac/0x780 run_timer_softirq+0x6c3/0x1790 __do_softirq+0x262/0x98c irq_exit+0x19b/0x1e0 smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x1a3/0x610 apic_timer_interrupt+0xf/0x20 </IRQ> See link https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=2eeef62ee31f9460ad65 for more details. Fix it by using spinlock in process context instead of mutex and having interrupt disabled in critical section.
