Some block device drivers, e.g. the skd driver, call set_capacity() with IRQ disabled. This results in lockdep ito complain about inconsistent lock states ("inconsistent {HARDIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-HARDIRQ-W} usage") because set_capacity takes a block device bd_size_lock using the functions spin_lock() and spin_unlock(). Ensure a consistent locking state by replacing these calls with spin_lock_irqsave() and spin_lock_irqrestore(). The same applies to bdev_set_nr_sectors(). With this fix, all lockdep complaints are resolved.
