[PATCH] md/raid5: make use of spin_lock_irq over local_irq_disable + spin_lock

From: Julia Cartwright
Date: Fri Apr 28 2017 - 13:41:30 EST


On mainline, there is no functional difference, just less code, and
symmetric lock/unlock paths.

On PREEMPT_RT builds, this fixes the following warning, seen by
Alexander GQ Gerasiov, due to the sleeping nature of spinlocks.

Hey All-

While this fixes a problem on RT primarily, the patch is equally applicable
upstream, as such probably makes sense to be pulled through the md tree. It
may also make sense to be pulled directly into rt-devel.

Alexander-

I turned your "I confirm the fix" to a 'Tested-by', let me know if that's a problem.

Thanks,

Julia
