> This fixes locking issues in the function csio_scsim_cleanup_io_lnode by
> locking around the call to the function csio_csci_gather_active_ios with the
> function pair spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq as any function calling this
> particular function must do in order to avoid concurrent threads of execution
> on the passed structure pointer of type csio_hw as this structure pointer can
> be shared across mutliple threads in the kernel.
