[PATCH] uml: fix proc-vs-interrupt context spinlock deadlock

This spinlock can be taken on interrupt too, so spin_lock_irq[save] must be
used.

However, Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt explains we are called with
rtnl_lock() held - so we don't need to care about other concurrent opens.
Verified also in LDD3 and by direct checking.  Also verified that the network
layer (through a state machine) guarantees us that nobody will close the
interface while it's being used.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, we must check we don't sleep with irqs disabled!!!  But anyway, this is
not news - we already can't sleep while holding a spinlock.  Who says this is
guaranted really by the present code?
