[PATCH 2/2] cryptd: Use nested-BH locking for cryptd_cpu_queue

[PATCH 2/2] cryptd: Use nested-BH locking for cryptd_cpu_queue

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

cryptd_queue::cryptd_cpu_queue is a per-CPU variable and relies on
disabled BH for its locking. Without per-CPU locking in
local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT this data structure requires explicit
locking.

Add a local_lock_t to the struct cryptd_cpu_queue and use
local_lock_nested_bh() for locking. This change adds only lockdep
coverage and does not alter the functional behaviour for !PREEMPT_RT.

This is meant as an example for #1 and should not be applied.
