die() can be called in exception handler, and therefore cannot sleep. However, die() takes spinlock_t which can sleep with PREEMPT_RT enabled. That causes the following warning:

Switch to use raw_spinlock_t, which does not sleep even with PREEMPT_RT enabled.

The die_lock() is probably do let one CPU die at a time. On x86 there is support for for recursive die so if it happens, you don't spin on the die_lock and see nothing. Not sure if this is a thing.
