mISDN: hfcpci: Fix potential deadlock on &hc->lock
As &hc->lock is acquired by both timer _hfcpci_softirq() and hardirq hfcpci_int(), the timer should disable irq before lock acquisition otherwise deadlock could happen if the timmer is preemtped by the hadr irq. Possible deadlock scenario: hfcpci_softirq() (timer) -> _hfcpci_softirq() -> spin_lock(&hc->lock); <irq interruption> -> hfcpci_int() -> spin_lock(&hc->lock); (deadlock here) This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am developing for irq-related deadlock. The tentative patch fixes the potential deadlock by spin_lock_irq() in timer.
