[PATCH v1] ibmvnic: remove excessive irqsave

From: angkery <hidden>
Date: 2021-03-05 16:40:50

From: Junlin Yang <redacted>

ibmvnic_remove locks multiple spinlocks while disabling interrupts:
spin_lock_irqsave(&adapter->state_lock, flags);
spin_lock_irqsave(&adapter->rwi_lock, flags);

As reported by coccinelle, the second _irqsave() overwrites the value
saved in 'flags' by the first _irqsave(),   therefore when the second
_irqrestore() comes,the value in 'flags' is not valid,the value saved
by the first _irqsave() has been lost.
This likely leads to IRQs remaining disabled. So remove the second
_irqsave():
spin_lock_irqsave(&adapter->state_lock, flags);
spin_lock(&adapter->rwi_lock);
