This particular fix only goes through the rt tree because it is only a
bug when full rt is enabled. When rt is enabled, spin_locks become
mutexes, and thus can not be used when preemption is disabled. The rt
tree introduced a local_lock() to remove open coded preempt disabling
and also to help annotate places that need per cpu protections.
