[PATCH] riscv: Fixup boot failure when CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES=y

From: Guo Ren <guoren at linux.alibaba.com>

When CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES=y, mutex_lock->rt_mutex_try_acquire would
change from rt_mutex_cmpxchg_acquire to rt_mutex_slowtrylock():
	raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&lock->wait_lock, flags);
	ret = __rt_mutex_slowtrylock(lock);
	raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&lock->wait_lock, flags);

Because queued_spin_#ops to ticket_#ops is changed one by one by
jump_label, raw_spin_lock/unlock would cause a deadlock during the
changing.

That means in arch/riscv/kernel/jump_label.c:
1.
arch_jump_label_transform_queue() ->
mutex_lock(&text_mutex); +-> raw_spin_lock  -> queued_spin_lock
			 |-> raw_spin_unlock -> queued_spin_unlock
patch_insn_write -> change the raw_spin_lock to ticket_lock
mutex_unlock(&text_mutex);
...

2. /* Dirty the lock value */
arch_jump_label_transform_queue() ->
mutex_lock(&text_mutex); +-> raw_spin_lock -> *ticket_lock*
                         |-> raw_spin_unlock -> *queued_spin_unlock*
			  /* BUG: ticket_lock with queued_spin_unlock */
patch_insn_write  ->  change the raw_spin_unlock to ticket_unlock
mutex_unlock(&text_mutex);
...

3. /* Dead lock */
arch_jump_label_transform_queue() ->
mutex_lock(&text_mutex); +-> raw_spin_lock -> ticket_lock /* deadlock! */
                         |-> raw_spin_unlock -> ticket_unlock
patch_insn_write -> change other raw_spin_#op -> ticket_#op
mutex_unlock(&text_mutex);

So, the solution is to disable mutex usage of
arch_jump_label_transform_queue() during early_boot_irqs_disabled, just
like we have done for stop_machine.
