Subject: [PATCH] b43legacy: Fix a sleep-in-atomic bug in b43legacy_op_bss_info_changed

The driver may sleep under a spin lock, and the function call path is:
b43legacy_op_bss_info_changed (acquire the lock by spin_lock_irqsave)
  b43legacy_synchronize_irq
    synchronize_irq --> may sleep

To fix it, the lock is released before b43legacy_synchronize_irq, and the 
lock is acquired again after this function.
