This got me confused for a bit while looking over this code: I had been
planning on adding some blocking function calls into this function, but
seeing the irqsave/irqrestore variants of spin_(un)lock() didn't make it
very clear whether or not that would actually be safe.

So I went ahead and reviewed every single driver in the kernel that uses
this function, and they all fall into three categories:

* Driver probe code
* ->atomic_disable() callbacks
* Legacy modesetting callbacks

All of these will be guaranteed to have IRQs enabled, which means it's
perfectly safe to block here. Just to make things a little less
confusing to others in the future, let's switch over to
spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq() to make that fact a little more
obvious.

I think the patch is correct, but now we're having a bit a inconsistency,
since all other functions where the same applies still use _irqsave. I
looked through the file and I think drm_vblank_get, drm_crtc_vblank_reset,
drm_crtc_vblank_on and drm_legacy_vblank_post_modeset,
drm_queue_vblank_event and drm_crtc_queue_sequence_ioctl are all candiates
for the same cleanup.

Maybe follow up patches for less confusion?

On this:
