radix-tree: Use local_lock for protection
The radix-tree and idr preload mechanisms use preempt_disable() to protect the complete operation between xxx_preload() and xxx_preload_end(). As the code inside the preempt disabled section acquires regular spinlocks, which are converted to 'sleeping' spinlocks on a PREEMPT_RT kernel and eventually calls into a memory allocator, this conflicts with the RT semantics. Convert it to a local_lock which allows RT kernels to substitute them with a real per CPU lock. On non RT kernels this maps to preempt_disable() as before, but provides also lockdep coverage of the critical region. No functional change.
