pstore: change mutex locking to spin_locks
pstore was using mutex locking to protect read/write access to the
backend plug-ins. This causes problems when pstore is executed in
an NMI context through panic() -> kmsg_dump().
This patch changes the mutex to a spin_lock_irqsave then also checks to
see if we are in an NMI context. If we are in an NMI and can't get the
lock, just print a message stating that and blow by the locking.
All this is probably a hack around the bigger locking problem but it
solves my current situation of trying to sleep in an NMI context.
Tested by loading the lkdtm module and executing a HARDLOCKUP which
will cause the machine to panic inside the nmi handler.

pstore: defer inserting OOPS entries into pstore
Life is simple for all the kernel terminating types of kmsg_dump
call backs - pstore just saves the tail end of the console log. But
for "oops" the situation is more complex - the kernel may carry on
running (possibly for ever). So we'd like to make the logged copy
of the oops appear in the pstore filesystem - so that the user has
a handle to clear the entry from the persistent backing store (if
we don't, the store may fill with "oops" entries (that are also
safely stashed in /var/log/messages) leaving no space for real
errors.
Current code calls pstore_mkfile() immediately. But this may
not be safe. The oops could have happened with arbitrary locks
held, or in interrupt or NMI context. So allocating memory and
calling into generic filesystem code seems unwise.
This patch defers making the entry appear. At the time
of the oops, we merely set a flag "pstore_new_entry" noting that
a new entry has been added. A periodic timer checks once a minute
to see if the flag is set - if so, it schedules a work queue to
rescan the backing store and make all new entries appear in the
pstore filesystem.

gma500: kill MIPI interface types
Kirill Shutemov found problems with the non-upstream IMG driver where the
use of extra DRM encoder/connector types caused random crashes when the DRM
layer tried to display their matching name. This removes the MIPI types
matching the changes Pauli Nieminen made to the non upstream driver set.
As Pauli points out:
" MIPI (or DSI) is protocol specification on top of LVDS serial bus. That
makes it resonable to call MIPI connectors and encoders LVDS."
(and indeed they may also be HDMI convertors or similar when we want to
report a more useful to end user result)

Assuming that the comment inside the if statement is true, this should
be harmless and just means that we raced with a rename. If that is the
