Subject: [PATCH v2 06/19] ARC: rwlock: disable interrupts in !LLSC variant

From: Noam Camus <noamc@...hip.com>

If we hold rwlock and interrupt occures we may
end up spinning on it for ever during softirq.
Note that this lock is an internal lock
and since the lock is free to be used from any context,
the lock needs to be IRQ-safe.

Below you may see an example for interrupt we get while
nl_table_lock is holding its rw->lock_mutex and we spinned
on it for ever.

The concept for the fix was taken from SPARC.
