PATCH v2 1/1 net/9p/client.c: fix misuse of spin_lock_irqsave for p9_client lock

In p9_read_work(), we use spin_lock for client->lock, but misuse spin_lock_irqsave for it in p9_fid_create(). As p9_client lock won't be locked in irq context, so spin_lock is enough. And that will improve the performance.

Rebased on 9p-next.

Rebased on 9p-next.

(Likewise, this should probably go below the '---' mark to not be in the final commit message, 9p-next does not make sense to linux as a whole)

Quoted 2 lines

Nitpicks aside this still looks good to me, I'm not expert in locking but I believe the conn_cancel stuff in trans_fd is called either from user context or workqueue which also is process context, while the rest comes from user context only.

There *are* common functions called from interrupt context (I see:
p9_tag_lookup, p9_client_cb, p9_parse_header) but luckily enough none of these take the lock.

I'll give this one a little bit of time for others to review before picking it up, just in case, but will do if no-one complains.
