Subject: [PATCH] __set_page_dirty uses spin_lock_irqsave instead of spin_lock_irq

From: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@...fujitsu.com>

To use spin_{un}lock_irq is dangerous if caller disabled interrupt.
spin_lock_irqsave is a safer alternative. Luckily, now there is no
caller that has such usage but it would be nice to fix.
