Subject: [BUG] b44: two possible sleep-in-atomic bugs in
 b44_set_link_ksettings and b44_ioctl

The driver may sleep under a spinlock.
The function call paths are:
b44_set_link_ksettings (acquire the spinlock)
   phy_ethtool_ksettings_set
     phy_start_aneg
       phy_start_aneg_priv
         mutex_lock --> may sleep

b44_ioctl (acquire the spinlock)
   phy_mii_ioctl
     mdiobus_read
       mutex_lock --> may sleep

I do not find a good way to fix them, so I only report.
These possible bugs are found by my static analysis tool (DSAC) and 
checked by my code review.


Thanks,
Jia-Ju Bai
