Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ACPI: CPPC: Make rmw_lock a raw_spin_lock

The following BUG was triggered:

=============================
[ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
6.12.0-rc2-XXX #406 Not tainted
-----------------------------
kworker/1:1/62 is trying to lock:
ffffff8801593030 (&cpc_ptr->rmw_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: cpc_write+0xcc/0x370
other info that might help us debug this:

#1: ffffff880154e238 (&sg_policy->update_lock){....}-{2:2}, at: sugov_update_shared+0x3c/0x280

sugov_update_shared() locks a raw_spinlock while cpc_write() locks a
spinlock.

To have a correct wait-type order, update rmw_lock to a raw spinlock and
ensure that interrupts will be disabled on the CPU holding it.
