Although, as Peter said FULL_NO_HZ is pretty pointless on UP, but I've
been thinking this from a non PREEMPT_RT viewpoint. In non PREEMPT_RT,
spin_locks() are nops, where this is an issue, but in PREEMPT_RT, they
are mutexes, BUT!
The rt_mutex use wait_lock to protect its internal state, which is a raw
spinlock, and in UP it's a nop. That means there's nothing preventing
an interrupt here from corrupting the rtmutex's internal state. I see
this is still an issue, and the warning is still valid.
