Title:
modprobe of speakup modules on ARM RT kernel ends up in a lockup of
module loading

Bug description:
ARM64, Ubuntu Noble, RT kernel 6.8.1.1002-realtime in VM (using virt-
manager), hosted on a 24 proc ARM server with 24 processor ARM64
client server installation.

In theory, loading modules that the H/W does not support should not
cause subsequent module loading issues. The speakup modules on a VM
ARM64 server image don't seem to follow this rule.

Example

root@noble-arm64:/home/cking# modprobe speakup_dectlk
root@noble-arm64:/home/cking# modprobe speakup_apollo
[ 621.072682] INFO: task modprobe:1703 blocked for more than 122 seconds.

[ 621.072794] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this
message.

The loading of the speakup_apolloc is locked up on a
rt_mutex_slowlock, dmesg reports:
