[PATCH v6 1/4] rv/reactors: use LD_WAIT_SPIN as the reactor lockdep wait type

From: Wen Yang <redacted>

rv_react() overrides the lockdep wait type to LD_WAIT_FREE to enforce
that reactor callbacks take no locks. But callbacks run in the context
of the triggering tracepoint, which can be preemptible task context on
any kernel. A timer interrupt firing during the callback makes the
interrupt-exit path schedule and take rq->__lock (LD_WAIT_SPIN) while
the LD_WAIT_FREE override is still held, producing a spurious
"Invalid wait context" warning:

    [ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
    context-{5:5}
    1 lock held by kunit_try_catch/209:
     #0: (rv_react_map-wait-type-override){+.+.}-{1:1}
    kunit_try_catch/209 is trying to lock:
    ffff8a743ed3e8a0 (&rq->__lock){-...}-{2:2}

Use LD_WAIT_SPIN instead of LD_WAIT_FREE, which causes false-positive
warnings in preemptible contexts due to scheduler preemption taking
rq->__lock.

Fixes: 69d8895cb9a9 ("rv: Add explicit lockdep context for reactors")
