rwsems can be used with IRQs disabled, particularily in early boot
before IRQs are enabled. Currently the spin_unlock_irq() usage in the
slow-path will unconditionally enable interrupts and cause problems
early in boot where interrupts are not yet initialized or enabled.
This patch uses save/restore versions of IRQ spinlocks in the slowpath
to ensure interrupts are not unintentionally enabled in the case where
the rwsem is used with IRQs disabled.
Idea for this fix suggested by H. Peter Anvin.
Tested on TI OMAP3-based platform (ARM Cortex-A8)
