kthread: Convert worker lock to raw spinlock
In order to enable the queuing of kthread work items from hardirq context even when PREEMPT_RT_FULL is enabled, convert the worker spin_lock to a raw_spin_lock. This is only acceptable to do because the work performed under the lock is well-bounded and minimal.

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.
