It wasn't the irqs that was causing the lockdep splat, but the
softirqs. You moved it into __put_task_struct() which is called as a
rcu callback that gets called from soft irqs. So yes, you need to
prevent softirqs from happening whenever you take the lock.
spin_lock_irq() is a bigger hammer than needed. The patch below should
be good enough.
I kept the double_lock_irq() as there is no double_lock_bh(). Should we
bother to make one?
