6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells at redhat.com>

commit 71f5409176f4ffd460689eb5423a20332d00e342 upstream.

rxrpc_new_incoming_peer() can't use spin_lock_bh() whilst its caller has
interrupts disabled.

    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1550 at kernel/softirq.c:369 __local_bh_enable_ip+0x46/0xd0

Fix this by using a plain spin_lock() instead.  IRQs are held, so softirqs
can't happen.
