Subject: [PATCH 1/2] IB/mad: Agent registration is process context only

From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@...rosoft.com>

Document this (it's implicitly true due to sleeping operations already
in use in both registration and deregistration).  Use this fact to use
spin_lock_irq instead of spin_lock_irqsave.  This improves performance
slightly.
