Tejun Heo e3977e0609 Revert "kernfs: convert kernfs_idr_lock to an irq safe raw spinlock"
This reverts commit dad3fb67ca1cbef87ce700e83a55835e5921ce8a.

The commit converted kernfs_idr_lock to an IRQ-safe raw_spinlock because it
could be acquired while holding an rq lock through bpf_cgroup_from_id().
However, kernfs_idr_lock is held while doing GPF_NOWAIT allocations which
involves acquiring an non-IRQ-safe and non-raw lock leading to the following
lockdep warning:

Let's rever the commit. It's undesirable to spread out raw spinlock usage
anyway and the problem can be solved by protecting the lookup path with RCU
instead.
