commit 38fa3206bf441911258e5001ac8b6738693f8d82 upstream.

While reboot the system by sysrq, the following bug will be occur.

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/semaphore.c:90
in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 128, non_block: 0, pid: 10052, name: rc.shutdown
CPU: 3 PID: 10052 Comm: rc.shutdown Tainted: G        W O      5.10.0 AgentFabulous#1

The reason for this problem is that irq has been disabled in
machine_restart() and then it calls down_interruptible() in
virt_efi_reset_system(), which would occur sleep in irq context,
it is dangerous! Commit 99409b935c9a("locking/semaphore: Add
might_sleep() to down_*() family") add might_sleep() in
down_interruptible(), so the bug info is here. down_trylock()
can solve this problem, cause there is no might_sleep.
