Subject: [PATCH] clocksource/i8253: Use raw_spinlock_irqsave() in
clockevent_i8253_disable()

On x86 during boot, clockevent_i8253_disable() can be invoked via x86_late_time_init -> hpet_time_init() -> pit_timer_init() which happens with enabled interrupts.

If some of the old i8253 hardware is actually used then lockdep will notice that i8253_lock is used in hard interrupt context. This causes lockdep to complain because it observed the lock being acquired with interrupts enabled and in hard interrupt context.

Make clockevent_i8253_disable() acquire the lock with raw_spinlock_irqsave() to cure this.
