smp2p_update_bits() should disable interrupts when it acquires its spinlock. This is important because without the _irqsave, a priority inversion can occur. This function is called both with interrupts enabled in qcom_q6v5_request_stop(), and with interrupts disabled in ipa_smp2p_panic_notifier(). IRQ handling of spinlocks should be consistent to avoid the panic notifier deadlocking because it's sitting on the thread that's already got the lock via _request_stop(). Found via lockdep.
