Subject: [PATCH V2 2/2] drivers: nfc: nfcmrvl: fix double free bug in nfc_fw_download_done()

There are potential double free bug in nfc_fw_download_done().
The timer handler fw_dnld_timeout() and work item fw_dnld_rx_work()
could both reach in fw_dnld_over() and nfc_fw_download_done() is not
protected by any lock, which leads to double free.

The race between fw_dnld_rx_work() and fw_dnld_timeout()
can be shown as below:

   (Thread 1)               |      (Thread 2)
fw_dnld_timeout             |  fw_dnld_rx_work
                            |   fw_dnld_over
 fw_dnld_over               |    nfc_fw_download_done
  nfc_fw_download_done      |     nfc_genl_fw_download_done
   nfc_genl_fw_download_done|      nlmsg_free(msg)  //(1)
    nlmsg_free(msg) //(2)   |      ...
     ...                    |

The nlmsg_free() will deallocate sk_buff in position (1), but
nlmsg_free will be deallocated again in position (2), which
leads to double free.

This patch adds spin_lock_irq() and check in fw_dnld_over()
in order to synchronize among different threads that call
fw_dnld_over(). So the double free bug could be prevented.
