      xen: save previous spinlock when blocking · 168d2f46
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
      A spinlock can be interrupted while spinning, so make sure we preserve
      the previous lock of interest if we're taking a lock from within an
      interrupt handler.
      
      We also need to deal with the case where the blocking path gets
      interrupted between testing to see if the lock is free and actually
      blocking.  If we get interrupted there and end up in the state where
      the lock is free but the irq isn't pending, then we'll block
      indefinitely in the hypervisor.  This fix is to make sure that any
      nested lock-takers will always leave the irq pending if there's any
      chance the outer lock became free.
