Smatch caught that cxl_cper_post_event() is called with a spinlock held or preemption disabled.[1] There is no need for the callback to sleep. Replace the RW semaphore with a RW lock. A static call was considered but ARM does not select HAVE_STATIC_CALL and in that case setting the function pointer uses a RW semaphore.
