So, there is a risk to be deadlocking in a write callback of efi_pstore if kernel panics in interrupt context while taking efivars->lock. [Patch Description] This patch disables an external interruption while holding efivars->lock by replacing spin_lock/spin_unlock with spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore. As for spin_locks in open/close callbacks of efi_pstore which works in process context, they are replaced with spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq.
