From: Matthew Wilcox <willy at linux.intel.com>
commit c6400ba7e13a41539342f1b6e1f9e78419cb0148 upstream.
of_hwspin_lock_get_id() is protected by the RCU lock, which means that
insertions can occur simultaneously with the lookup. If the radix tree
transitions from a height of 0, we can see a slot with the indirect_ptr
bit set, which will cause us to at least read random memory, and could
cause other havoc.
Fix this by using the newly introduced radix_tree_iter_retry().
