In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: Fix sleeping in invalid context in die()
die() can be called in exception handler, and therefore cannot sleep.
However, die() takes spinlock_t which can sleep with PREEMPT_RT enabled.
That causes the following warning:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, non_block: 0, pid: 285, name: mutex

Switch to use raw_spinlock_t, which does not sleep even with PREEMPT_RT
enabled.
