This fixes locking issues in the function csio_scsim_cleanup_io_lnode
by locking around the call to the function csio_csci_gather_active_ios
with the function pair spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq as any function
calling this particular function must do in order to avoid concurrent
threads of execution on the passed structure pointer of type csio_hw
as this structure pointer can be shared across mutliple threads in the
kernel.

All the callers grab that lock, you've just added a deadlock instead.
Nick, I've said this before and I'll say this again. Stop sending me
patches. They are all untested and broken, you are wasting peoples time.
