Very rare kernel crashes are reported on a custom OMAP4 board. Kernel
panics due to corrupted completion structure while executing
dispc_irq_wait_handler(). Excerpt from kernel log:
Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

DISPC IRQ executes callbacks with dispc.irq_lock released. Hence
unregister_isr() and DISPC IRQ might be running in parallel on different
CPUs. So there is a chance that a callback is executed even though it
has been unregistered. As omap_dispc_wait_for_irq_timeout() declares a
completion on stack, the dispc_irq_wait_handler() callback might try to
access a completion structure that is invalid. This leads to crashes and
hangs.
Solution is to divide unregister calls into two sets:
1. Non-strict unregistering of callbacks. Callbacks could safely be
executed after unregistering them. This is the case with unregister
calls from the IRQ handler itself.
2. Strict (synchronized) unregistering. Callbacks are not allowed
after unregistering. This is the case with completion waiting.
The above solution should satisfy one of the original intentions of the
driver: callbacks should be able to unregister themselves.
Also fix DSI IRQ unregister which has similar logic to DISPC IRQ handling.

WARNING: This bug is quite old. The patch has been tested on v3.0. No testing
has been done after rebasing to v3.6. Hence the RFC tag. Hopefully someone
will beat me in testing with latest linux-omap/master.
Changes since v1 per Tomi Valkeinen's comments:
- Don't rename omap_dispc_unregister_isr, just introduce nosync variant.
- Apply the same fix for DSI IRQ which suffers from the same race condition.
