CVE-2024-35991

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dmaengine: idxd: Convert spinlock to mutex to lock evl workqueue

drain_workqueue() cannot be called safely in a spinlocked context due to
possible task rescheduling. In the multi-task scenario, calling
queue_work() while drain_workqueue() will lead to a Call Trace as
pushing a work on a draining workqueue is not permitted in spinlocked
context.
    Call Trace:

The current implementation uses a spinlock to protect event log workqueue
and will lead to the Call Trace due to potential task rescheduling.

To address the locking issue, convert the spinlock to mutex, allowing
the drain_workqueue() to be called in a safe mutex-locked context.

This change ensures proper synchronization when accessing the event log
workqueue, preventing potential Call Trace and improving the overall
robustness of the code.
