net: Make napi_hash_lock irq safe
Make napi_hash_lock IRQ safe. It is used during the control path, and is
taken and released in napi_hash_add and napi_hash_del, which will
typically be called by calls to napi_enable and napi_disable.
This change avoids a deadlock in pcnet32 (and other any other drivers
which follow the same pattern):
CPU 0:
pcnet32_open
spin_lock_irqsave(&lp->lock, ...)
napi_enable
napi_hash_add <- before this executes, CPU 1 proceeds
spin_lock(napi_hash_lock)
[...]
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&lp->lock, flags);
CPU 1:
pcnet32_close
napi_disable
napi_hash_del
spin_lock(napi_hash_lock)
< INTERRUPT >
pcnet32_interrupt
spin_lock(lp->lock) <- DEADLOCK
Changing the napi_hash_lock to be IRQ safe prevents the IRQ from firing
on CPU 1 until napi_hash_lock is released, preventing the deadlock.
