3.13.11-ckt19 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Andreas Larsson <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 66d0f7ec9f1038452178b1993fc07fd96d30fd38 ] Load balancing can be triggered in the critical sections protected by srmmu_context_spinlock in destroy_context() and switch_mm() and can hang the cpu waiting for the rq lock of another cpu that in turn has called switch_mm hangning on srmmu_context_spinlock leading to deadlock. So, disable interrupt while taking srmmu_context_spinlock in destroy_context() and switch_mm() so we don't deadlock.
