printk: replacing the raw_spin_lock/unlock with raw_spin_lock/unlock_irq
In function devkmsg_read/writev/llseek/poll/open()..., the function raw_spin_lock/unlock is used, there is potential deadlock case happening. CPU1: thread1 doing the cat /dev/kmsg: raw_spin_lock(&logbuf_lock); while (user->seq == log_next_seq) { when thread1 run here, at this time one interrupt is coming on CPU1 and running based on this thread,if the interrupt handle called the printk which need the logbuf_lock spin also, it will cause deadlock. So we should use raw_spin_lock/unlock_irq here.
