tracing: convert ftrace_dump spinlocks to raw
ftrace_dump is used for printing out the contents of the ftrace ring buffer to the console on failure. Currently it uses a spinlock to synchronize the output from multiple failures on different CPUs. This spin lock currently is a normal spinlock and can cause issues with lockdep and lock tracing. This patch converts it to raw since it is for error handling only. The lock is local to the ftrace_dump and is not used by any other infrastructure. [ Impact: prevent ftrace_dump from locking up by internal tracing ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
