Subject: [PATCH 2/3] uio: uio_dmem_genirq: Fix deadlock between irq config and handling

This fixes a concurrency issue addressed in commit 34cb27528398 ("UIO: Fix
concurrency issue"):

  "In a SMP case there was a race condition issue between
  Uio_pdrv_genirq_irqcontrol() running on one CPU and irq handler on
  another CPU. Fix it by spin_locking shared resources access inside irq
  handler."

The implementation of "uio_dmem_genirq" was based on "uio_pdrv_genirq" and
it is used in a similar manner to the "uio_pdrv_genirq" driver with respect
to interrupt configuration and handling. At the time "uio_dmem_genirq" was
merged, both had the same implementation of the 'uio_info' handlers
irqcontrol() and handler(), thus, both had the same concurrency issue
mentioned by the above commit. However, the above patch was only applied to
the "uio_pdrv_genirq" driver.

Split out from commit 34cb27528398 ("UIO: Fix concurrency issue").
