s390 code uses smp_processor_id() in __raw_spin_lock() code which
reveals that a (raw) spinlock is taken without preemption disabled.
This can potentially deadlock.

To fix this explicitly disable and enable preemption.

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: cat/2278
caller is trace_find_cmdline+0x40/0xfc
