video: hyperv_fb: Avoid taking busy spinlock on panic path
[ Upstream commit 1d044ca035dc22df0d3b39e56f2881071d9118bd ] The Hyper-V framebuffer code registers a panic notifier in order to try updating its fbdev if the kernel crashed. The notifier callback is straightforward, but it calls the vmbus_sendpacket() routine eventually, and such function takes a spinlock for the ring buffer operations. Panic path runs in atomic context, with local interrupts and preemption disabled, and all secondary CPUs shutdown. That said, taking a spinlock might cause a lockup if a secondary CPU was disabled with such lock taken. Fix it here by checking if the ring buffer spinlock is busy on Hyper-V framebuffer panic notifier; if so, bail-out avoiding the potential lockup scenario.
