drain_workqueue() cannot be called safely in a spinlocked context due to
possible task rescheduling. In the multi-task scenario, calling
queue_work() while drain_workqueue() will lead to a Call Trace as
pushing a work on a draining workqueue is not permitted in spinlocked
context.
Call Trace:

The current implementation uses a spinlock to protect event log workqueue
and will lead to the Call Trace due to potential task rescheduling.
To address the locking issue, convert the spinlock to mutex, allowing
the drain_workqueue() to be called in a safe mutex-locked context.
This change ensures proper synchronization when accessing the event log
workqueue, preventing potential Call Trace and improving the overall
robustness of the code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
