4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Joel Fernandes <joe...@google.com> commit 109704492ef637956265ec2eb72ae7b3b39eb6f4 upstream. Currently pstore has a global spinlock for all zones. Since the zones are independent and modify different areas of memory, there's no need to have a global lock, so we should use a per-zone lock as introduced here. Also, when ramoops's ftrace use-case has a FTRACE_PER_CPU flag introduced later, which splits the ftrace memory area into a single zone per CPU, it will eliminate the need for locking. In preparation for this, make the locking optional.
