Subject: [PATCH] IB/hfi1: Fix potential deadlock on &irq_src_lock and &dd->uctxt_lock

handle_receive_interrupt_napi_sp() running inside interrupt handler
could introduce inverse lock ordering between &dd->irq_src_lock
and &dd->uctxt_lock, if read_mod_write() is preempted by the isr.

This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am
developing for irq-related deadlock.

To prevent the potential deadlock, the patch use spin_lock_irqsave()
on &dd->irq_src_lock inside read_mod_write() to prevent the possible
deadlock scenario.
