[patch 12/12] usb: atm: Replace in_interrupt() usage in comment

From: Thomas Gleixner <hidden>
Date: 2020-10-14 15:19:42
Also in: linux-omap, linux-samsung-soc, linux-usb, lkml

in_interrupt() is a pretty vague context description as it means: hard
interrupt, soft interrupt or bottom half disabled regions.

Replace the vague comment with a proper reasoning why spin_lock_irqsave()
needs to be used.
