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

LoongArch: Fix sleeping in atomic context for PREEMPT_RT

Commit bab1c299f3945ffe79 ("LoongArch: Fix sleeping in atomic context in
setup_tlb_handler()") changes the gfp flag from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC
for alloc_pages_node(). However, for PREEMPT_RT kernels we can still get
a "sleeping in atomic context" error:

This is because in PREEMPT_RT kernels normal spinlocks are replaced by
rt spinlocks and rt_spin_lock() will cause sleeping. Fix it by disabling
NUMA optimization completely for PREEMPT_RT kernels.
