Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

idpf: fix read_dev_clk_lock spinlock init in idpf_ptp_init()

In idpf_ptp_init(), read_dev_clk_lock is initialized after
ptp_schedule_worker() had already been called (and after
idpf_ptp_settime64() could reach the lock). The PTP aux worker
fires immediately upon scheduling and can call into
idpf_ptp_read_src_clk_reg_direct(), which takes
spin_lock(&ptp->read_dev_clk_lock) on an uninitialized lock, triggering
the lockdep "non-static key" warning:

[12973.796587] idpf 0000:83:00.0: Device HW Reset initiated
[12974.094507] INFO: trying to register non-static key.

Move the call to spin_lock_init() up a bit to make sure read_dev_clk_lock
is not touched before it's been initialized.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/eb5991d4c8ba2e8153dfcda3e66a9608377b7dce
