[ 043/221] IB/mlx4: Fix spinlock order to avoid lockdep warnings

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jan 15 2013 - 19:35:24 EST


3.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit ceb7decb366591e9b67d70832e07f5d240572a3d upstream.

lockdep warns about taking a hard-irq-unsafe lock (sriov->id_map_lock)
inside a hard-irq-safe lock (sriov->going_down_lock).

Since id_map_lock is never taken in the interrupt context, we can
simply reverse the order of taking the two spinlocks, thus avoiding
the warning and the depencency.
