execlists_dequeue() is invoked from a function which uses local_irq_disable() to disable interrupts so the spin_lock() behaves like spin_lock_irq(). This breaks PREEMPT_RT because local_irq_disable() + spin_lock() is not the same as spin_lock_irq().
execlists_dequeue_irq() and execlists_dequeue() has each one caller only. If intel_engine_cs::active::lock is acquired and released with the _irq suffix then it behaves almost as if execlists_dequeue() would be invoked with disabled interrupts. The difference is the last part of the function which is then invoked with enabled interrupts. I can't tell if this makes a difference. From looking at it, it might work to move the last unlock at the end of the function as I didn't find anything that would acquire the lock again.
