    IB/qib: Fix potential deadlock with link down interrupt

    There is a possibility of a deadlock due to the way locks are acquired and
    released in qib_set_uevent_bits(). The function qib_set_uevent_bits() is cal
    in process context calling spin_lock() and spin_unlock() while this same loc
    is acquired/released in interrupt context which can lead to a deadlock when
    running on the same cpu.

    The fix is to replace spin_lock() and spin_unlock() with spin_lock_irqsave()
    and spin_unlock_irqrestore() respectively in qib_set_uevent_bits().
