Subject: [PATCH 5.10 100/157] ibmvnic: remove excessive irqsave

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

[ Upstream commit 69cdb7947adb816fc9325b4ec02a6dddd5070b82 ]

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

As reported by coccinelle, the second _irqsave() overwrites the value
saved in 'flags' by the first _irqsave(),   therefore when the second
_irqrestore() comes,the value in 'flags' is not valid,the value saved
by the first _irqsave() has been lost.
This likely leads to IRQs remaining disabled. 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.
