Because __cpu_disable is called in atomic context and spinlock
is a mutex on -rt.

Ralf added this in 773cb77d (MIPS: Cavium: Add CPU hotplugging code.)

I'm not even sure what this lock is supposed to be protecting, so I would like Ralf to take a look.

You can add an Acked-by: from me for either this patch as is, or if Ralf thinks it is OK, removing the lock entirely.

In any event we can merge this via Ralf's tree.

Thanks,
David Daney
