linereq_put_event is called from both interrupt context (e.g., edge_irq_thread) and process context (process_hw_ts_thread). Therefore, interrupt should be disabled before acquiring lock &lr->wait.lock inside linereq_put_event to avoid deadlock when the lock is held in process context and edge_irq_thread comes. Similarly, linereq_read_unlocked running in process context also acquies the same lock. It also need to disable interrupt otherwise deadlock could happen if the irq edge_irq_thread comes to execution while the lock is held. Fix the two potential deadlock issues by spin_lock_bh() and spin_lock_irq() separately.
