This patch changes adapter->nfc_rule_lock type from spin_lock to mutex so we avoid unnecessary busy waiting on lock contention. A closer look at the execution context of NFC rule API users shows that all of them run in process context. The API users are: ethtool ops, igc_configure(), called when interface is brought up by user or reset workequeue thread, igc_down(), called when interface is brought down, and igc_remove(), called when driver is unloaded.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
