Revert "kernfs: convert kernfs_idr_lock to an irq safe raw spinlock" (2024-01-11 11:51:27 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Driver core changes for 6.8-rc1

Here are the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.8-rc1. Nothing
major in here this release cycle, just lots of small cleanups and some
tweaks on kernfs that in the very end, got reverted and will come back
in a safer way next release cycle.

Included in here are:
- more driver core 'const' cleanups and fixes
- fw_devlink=rpm is now the default behavior
- kernfs tiny changes to remove some string functions
- cpu handling in the driver core is updated to work better on many
systems that add topologies and cpus after booting
- other minor changes and cleanups

All of the cpu handling patches have been acked by the respective
maintainers and are coming in here in one series. Everything has been
in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.
