Subject: [PATCH] ibmvnic: remove excessive irqsave

From: Junlin Yang <yangjunlin@...ong.com>

ibmvnic_remove locks multiple spinlocks while disabling interrupts:
spin_lock_irqsave(&adapter->state_lock, flags);
spin_lock_irqsave(&adapter->rwi_lock, flags);

there is no need for the second irqsave,since interrupts are disabled
at that point, so remove the second irqsave:
spin_lock_irqsave(&adapter->state_lock, flags);
spin_lock(&adapter->rwi_lock);

Generated by: ./scripts/coccinelle/locks/flags.cocci
./drivers/net/ethernet/ibm/ibmvnic.c:5413:1-18:
ERROR: nested lock+irqsave that reuses flags from line 5404.
