Subject: [34-longterm 191/209] mv_xor: fix race in tasklet function

From: Saeed Bishara <saeed@...vell.com>

  =====================================================================
  | This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. |
  | If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.|
  =====================================================================

commit 8333f65ef094e47020cd01452b4637e7daf5a77f upstream.

use mv_xor_slot_cleanup() instead of __mv_xor_slot_cleanup() as the former function
aquires the spin lock that needed to protect the drivers data.
