Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/imc-pmu: Fix use of mutex in IRQs disabled section

Current imc-pmu code triggers a WARNING with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP and CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING enabled, while running a thread_imc event.

Command to trigger the warning:

  # perf stat -e thread_imc/CPM_CS_FROM_L4_MEM_X_DPTEG/ sleep 5

Performance counter stats for 'sleep 5':

                   0      thread_imc/CPM_CS_FROM_L4_MEM_X_DPTEG/

         5.002117947 seconds time elapsed

         0.000131000 seconds user
         0.001063000 seconds sys

Below is snippet of the warning in dmesg:

The above warning triggered because the current imc-pmu code uses mutex lock in interrupt disabled sections. The function mutex_lock() internally calls __might_resched(), which will check if IRQs are disabled and in case IRQs are disabled, it will trigger the warning.

Fix the issue by changing the mutex lock to spinlock.
