Subject: [PATCH 3.2 38/94] rtlwifi: rtl8192se: Fix too long disable of IRQs

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

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

From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@...inger.net>

commit 2610decdd0b3808ba20471a999835cfee5275f98 upstream.

In commit f78bccd79ba3cd9d9664981b501d57bdb81ab8a4 entitled "rtlwifi:
rtl8192ce: Fix too long disable of IRQs", Olivier Langlois
<olivier@...llion01.com> fixed a problem caused by an extra long disabling
of interrupts. This patch makes the same fix for rtl8192se.
