Subject: optee: Refuse to load the driver under the kdump kernel
From: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit adf752af454e91e123e85e3784972d166837af73 upstream.
Fix a hung task issue, seen when booting the kdump kernel, that is
caused by all of the secure world threads being in a permanent suspended
state:
INFO: task swapper/0:1 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
Not tainted 5.4.83 #1
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

The invoke_fn hook returned OPTEE_SMC_RETURN_ETHREAD_LIMIT, indicating
that the secure world threads were all in a suspended state at the time
of the kernel crash. This intermittently prevented the kdump kernel from
booting, resulting in a failure to collect the kernel dump.
Make kernel dump collection more reliable on systems utilizing OP-TEE by
refusing to load the driver under the kdump kernel.
