    clocksource: Resume clocksource without taking the clocksource mutex · 89133f93
    Martin Schwidefsky authored
    git commit 75c5158f converted the clocksource spinlock to a
    mutex. This causes the following BUG:

    clocksource_resume is called early in the resume process, there is
    only one cpu, no processes are running and the interrupts are
    disabled. It is therefore possible to resume the clocksources
    without taking the clocksource mutex.
