+CC tracing folk for the splat below (the second one as first one is fixed!)

Lock debugging is slow (on an emulated machine) :(
Testing with my gitlab.com/jic23/qemu cxl-2024-02-05-draft branch
which is only one I've put out with the FW first injection patches so far

For reference without this patch I got a nice spat identifying the original bug.
So far so good.

With this patch (and tp_printk in command line and trace points enabled)

I rebased after this so now we get the smaller print - but that's not really relevant here.

The rw_sem is held to protect the callback pointer.

So I'm not sure how to fix this or if we even want to.

We could try and release locks before calling the tracepoint but that looks
very fiddly and would require ghes.c to be able to see more of the
CXL tracepoint infrastructure which isn't great.

Just because I was feeling cheeky I did a quick test with following.
I have a sneaky suspicion this won't got down well even though it 'fixes'
our issue...  My google fu / lore search terms are failing to find
much previous discussion of this.

My assumption is similar views will apply here to Peter Zijlstra's comment on
not using printk_deferred.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231010141244.GM377@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Note I also tried the hacks Peter links to from there. They trip issues in the initial
CPER print - so I assume not appropriate here.

So I'm thinking this is a won't fix - wait for the printk rework to land and
assume this will be resolved as well?

Unfortunately the rw_sem is protecting the cper_callback itself
so I'm not sure how to do this.

Maybe a dance where cper_callback creates the record but returns
the data to here so that we can release the lock and issue
the tracepoint?
