Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/2] xsk: do not enable/disable irq when grabbing/releasing xsk_tx_list_lock

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@...cent.com>

The commit ac98d8aab61b ("xsk: wire upp Tx zero-copy functions")
originally introducing this lock put the deletion process in the
sk_destruct which can run in irq context obviously, so the
xxx_irqsave()/xxx_irqrestore() pair was used. But later another
commit 541d7fdd7694 ("xsk: proper AF_XDP socket teardown ordering")
moved the deletion into xsk_release() that only happens in process
context. It means that since this commit, it doesn't necessarily
need that pair.

Now, there are two places that use this xsk_tx_list_lock and only
run in the process context. So avoid manipulating the irq then.
