Subject: [PATCH] scsi/mac_esp: Replace bogus memory barrier with spinlock

Commit da244654c66e ("[SCSI] mac_esp: fix for quadras with two esp chips")
added mac_scsi_esp_intr() to handle the IRQ lines from a pair of on-board
ESP chips (a normal shared IRQ did not work).

Proper mutual exclusion was missing from that patch. This patch fixes
race conditions between comparison and assignment of esp_chips[]
pointers.
