mm/slab: fix false lockdep warning in __kfree_rcu_sheaf()

[ Upstream commit f8b4cd2 ]

kvfree_call_rcu() can be called while holding a raw_spinlock_t.
Since __kfree_rcu_sheaf() may acquire a spinlock_t (which becomes a
sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT) and violate lock nesting rules,
kvfree_call_rcu() bypasses the sheaves layer entirely on PREEMPT_RT.

However, lockdep still complains about acquiring spinlock_t while holding
raw_spinlock_t, even on !PREEMPT_RT where spinlock_t is a spinning lock.
This causes a false lockdep warning [1]:

This wasn't triggered until sheaves were enabled for all slab caches,
since kfree_rcu() wasn't being called with a raw spinlock held for
caches with sheaves (vma, maple node).

As suggested by Vlastimil Babka, fix this by using a lockdep map with
LD_WAIT_CONFIG wait type to tell lockdep that acquiring spinlock_t is valid
in this case, as those spinlocks won't be used on PREEMPT_RT.

Note that kfree_rcu_sheaf_map should be acquired using _try() variant,
otherwise the acquisition of the lockdep map itself will trigger an invalid
wait context warning.
