Instead of introducing a spinlock, use printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave() and printk_cpu_sync_put_irqrestore() to serialize softlockup reporting. Alone this doesn't have any real advantage over the spinlock, but this will allow us to use the same function in a future change to also serialize hardlockup crawls. NOTE: for the most part this serialization is important because we often end up in the show_regs() path and that has no built-in serialization if there are multiple callers at once. However, even in the case where we end up in the dump_stack() path this still has some advantages because the stack will be guaranteed to be together in the logs with the lockup message with no interleaving. NOTE: the fact that printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave() is allowed to be called multiple times on the same CPU is important here. Specifically we hold the "lock" while calling dump_stack() which also gets the same "lock". This is explicitly documented to be OK and means we don't need to introduce a variant of dump_stack() that doesn't grab the lock.
