    kgdb: Don't call the deinit under spinlock · b1350132
    Douglas Anderson authored
    When I combined kgdboc_earlycon with an inflight patch titled ("soc:
    qcom-geni-se: Add interconnect support to fix earlycon crash") [1]
    things went boom.  Specifically I got a crash during the transition
    between kgdboc_earlycon and the main kgdboc that looked like this:

    The problem was that we were holding the "kgdb_registration_lock"
    while calling into code that didn't expect to be called in spinlock
    context.
    
    Let's slightly defer when we call the deinit code so that it's not
    done under spinlock.
    
    NOTE: this does mean that the "deinit" call of the old kgdb IO module
    is now made _after_ the init of the new IO module, but presumably
    that's OK.
