[PATCH] atm: solos-pci: Fix potential deadlock on &cli_queue_lock and &tx_queue_lock

[Chengfeng Ye]

As &card->cli_queue_lock and &card->tx_queue_lock are acquired under
softirq context along the following call chain from solos_bh(), other
acquisition of the same lock inside process context should disable
at least bh to avoid double lock.

<deadlock #1>
console_show()
--> spin_lock(&card->cli_queue_lock)
<interrupt>
   --> solos_bh()
   --> spin_lock(&card->cli_queue_lock)

<deadlock #2>
pclose()
--> spin_lock(&card->tx_queue_lock)
<interrupt>
   --> solos_bh()
   --> fpga_tx()
   --> spin_lock(&card->tx_queue_lock)

This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am
developing for irq-related deadlock.

To prevent the potential deadlock, the patch uses spin_lock_irqsave()
on the two locks under process context code consistently to prevent
the possible deadlock scenario.
