[PATCH] gpio: gpiolib-cdev: Fix potential &lr->wait.lock deadlock issue

From: YE Chengfeng
Date: Sun Jun 25 2023 - 10:54:09 EST


linereq_put_event is called from both interrupt context (e.g.,
edge_irq_thread) and process context (process_hw_ts_thread).
Therefore, interrupt should be disabled before acquiring lock
&lr->wait.lock inside linereq_put_event to avoid deadlock when
the lock is held in process context and edge_irq_thread comes.

Similarly, linereq_read_unlocked running in process context
also acquies the same lock. It also need to disable interrupt
otherwise deadlock could happen if the irq edge_irq_thread
comes to execution while the lock is held.

Fix the two potential deadlock issues by spin_lock_irqsave.
