Tyler Hicks ad80c25987 optee: Refuse to load the driver under the kdump kernel
commit adf752af454e91e123e85e3784972d166837af73 upstream.

Fix a hung task issue, seen when booting the kdump kernel, that is
caused by all of the secure world threads being in a permanent suspended
state:

 INFO: task swapper/0:1 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
       Not tainted 5.4.83 #1
 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
 swapper/0       D    0     1      0 0x00000028

The invoke_fn hook returned OPTEE_SMC_RETURN_ETHREAD_LIMIT, indicating
that the secure world threads were all in a suspended state at the time
of the kernel crash. This intermittently prevented the kdump kernel from
booting, resulting in a failure to collect the kernel dump.

Make kernel dump collection more reliable on systems utilizing OP-TEE by
refusing to load the driver under the kdump kernel.

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.
