Subject: [PATCH 3.2 145/200] usb: ehci: fix deadlock when threadirqs
 option is used

3.2.56-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@...hat.com>

commit a1227f3c1030e96ebc51d677d2f636268845c5fb upstream.

ehci_irq() and ehci_hrtimer_func() can deadlock on ehci->lock when
threadirqs option is used. To prevent the deadlock use
spin_lock_irqsave() in ehci_irq().

This change can be reverted when hrtimer callbacks become threaded.
