We were getting occasional "Scheduling while atomic" call traces
during boot on some systems. Problem was first seen on a Cisco C210
but we were able to reproduce it on a Cisco c220m3. Setting
CONFIG_LOCKDEP and LOCKDEP_SUPPORT to 'y' exposed a lockdep around
tx_msg_lock in acpi_ipmi.c struct acpi_ipmi_device.
=================================
[ INFO: inconsistent lock state ]
2.6.32-415.el6.x86_64-debug-splck #1
---------------------------------
inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage.

(&ipmi_device->tx_msg_lock){+.?...}, at: [<ffffffff81337a27>]

[<ffffffff81321c62>] acpi_ev_address_space_dispatch+0x170/0x1be
The ipmi_msg_handler() function in drivers/acpi/acpi_ipmi was taking
a mutex_lock after ultimately being called from a call chain initiated
by function smi_rcv_tasklet() in drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c.
Documentation/mutex-design.txt on lines 93 and 94 says, "mutexes may
not be used in hardware or software interrupt contexts such as
tasklets and timers."
The patch changes the mutex member tx_msg_lock in acpi_ipmi.c struct
acpi_ipmi_device to a spinlock_t and replaces mutex_lock/unlock pairs
with spin_lock_irqsave/unlock_irqrestore around tx_msg_lock for
accesses to that struct.
Tested the patch in a boot loop with lockdep debug enabled and never
saw the problem in over 400 reboots.
