commit aceeafefff736057e8f93f19bbfbef26abd94604 upstream
Adds a driver private tee_context to struct optee.
The new driver internal tee_context is used when allocating driver private shared memory. This decouples the shared memory object from its original tee_context. This is needed when the life time of such a memory allocation outlives the client tee_context.
This patch fixes the problem described below:
The addition of a shutdown hook by commit f25889f93184 ("optee: fix tee out of memory failure seen during kexec reboot") introduced a kernel shutdown regression that can be triggered after running the OP-TEE xtest suites.
Once the shutdown hook is called it is not possible to communicate any more with the supplicant process because the system is not scheduling task any longer. Thus if the optee driver shutdown path receives a supplicant RPC request from the OP-TEE we will deadlock the kernel's shutdown.

This and 5.15 backport now queued up.
This needs to go farther back as well, right?
