Julien Grall ce5c31db36 lib/ubsan: don't serialize UBSAN report
At the moment, UBSAN report will be serialized using a spin_lock().  On
RT-systems, spinlocks are turned to rt_spin_lock and may sleep.  This
will result to the following splat if the undefined behavior is in a
context that can sleep:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at /src/linux/kernel/locking/rtmutex.c:968

The spin_lock() will protect against multiple CPUs to output a report
together, I guess to prevent them from being interleaved.  However, they
can still interleave with other messages (and even splat from
__might_sleep).

So the lock usefulness seems pretty limited.  Rather than trying to
accomodate RT-system by switching to a raw_spin_lock(), the lock is now
completely dropped.

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.
