6pack,mkiss: fix lock inconsistency
commit 6e4e2f811bade330126d4029c88c831784a7efd9 upstream. Lockdep found a locking inconsistency in the mkiss_close function: > kernel: [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] > kernel: 2.6.39.1 #3 > kernel: --------------------------------- > kernel: inconsistent {IN-SOFTIRQ-R} -> {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} usage. > kernel: ax25ipd/2813 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes: > kernel: (disc_data_lock){+++?.-}, at: [<ffffffffa018552b>] mkiss_close+0x1b/0x90 [mkiss] > kernel: {IN-SOFTIRQ-R} state was registered at: The message hints that disc_data_lock is aquired with softirqs disabled, but does not itself disable softirqs, which can in rare circumstances lead to a deadlock. The same problem is present in the 6pack driver, this patch fixes both by using write_lock_bh instead of write_lock.
