Subject: [PATCH] can: mcp251x: fix deadlock if an interrupt occurs during
 mcp251x_open

The mcp251x_hw_wake() function is called with the mpc_lock mutex held and
disables the interrupt handler so that no interrupts can be processed while
waking the device. If an interrupt has already occurred then waiting for
the interrupt handler to complete will deadlock because it will be trying
to acquire the same mutex.

  mcp251x_hw_wake()
   disable_irq() <-- deadlock

Use disable_irq_nosync() instead because the interrupt handler does
everything while holding the mutex so it doesn't matter if it's still
running.
