Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Fix concurrency issue

In a SMP case there was a race condition issue between
uio_pdrv_genirq_irqcontrol() running on one CPU and irq handler on another
CPU. Fix it by spin_locking shared resources access inside irq handler.
Also:
 - Change disable_irq to disable_irq_nosync to avoid deadlock, because
disable_irq waits for the completion of the irq handler
 - Change atomic bit-manipulation routines to their non-atomic counterparts as
we already are guarding the code by spinlock.
