[ewg] [PATCH] ib/ehca: rework destroy_eq()

The ibmebus_free_irq() function, which might sleep, was called with
interrupts disabled. To ship around this, make sure that no interrupts
are running by killing the interrupt tasklet. Also lock the shca_list_lock to
protect against the poll_eqs_timer running concurrently.
