[PATCH v6 13/46] sched/migration: Use raw_spin_lock/unlock sinceinterrupts are already disabled

From: Srivatsa S. Bhat
Date: Mon Feb 18 2013 - 07:42:27 EST


We need not use the raw_spin_lock_irqsave/restore primitives because
all CPU_DYING notifiers run with interrupts disabled. So just use
raw_spin_lock/unlock.
