[PATCH] 6pack,mkiss: fix lock inconsistency

Lockdep found a locking inconsistency in the mkiss_close function:

kernel: [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ]
kernel: 2.6.39.1 #3
kernel: ---------------------------------
kernel: inconsistent {IN-SOFTIRQ-R} -> {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} usage.
kernel: ax25ipd/2813 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes:
kernel: (disc_data_lock){+++?.-}, at: [<ffffffffa018552b>] mkiss_close+0x1b/0x90 [mkiss]
kernel: {IN-SOFTIRQ-R} state was registered at:

The message hints that disc_data_lock is aquired with softirqs disabled,
but does not itself disable softirqs, which can in rare circumstances
lead to a deadlock. 
The same problem is present in the 6pack driver, this patch fixes both
by using write_lock_bh instead of write_lock.

Now, who is going to commit this mkiss patch and the equivalent one for 
sixpack.c ?

Here's a formal patch with all the right tags, I assume that David Miller
will apply that to the netdev tree.
