Subject: [PATCH 6/6] userns: Use irqsave variant of refcount_dec_and_lock()

From: Anna-Maria Gleixner <anna-maria@...utronix.de>

The irqsave variant of refcount_dec_and_lock handles irqsave/restore when
taking/releasing the spin lock. With this variant the call of
local_irq_save/restore is no longer required.
