Subject: [PATCH] Change struct flchip_shared spinlock locking into mutex

From: Stefani Seibold <stefani@...bold.net>

This patch prevent to schedule while atomic by changing the
flchip_shared spinlock into a mutex. This should be save since no atomic
path will use this lock.

This patch is based on linux kernel 2.6.35. Please apply.

It was requested by Arnd Bergmann and Vasiliy Kulikov.
