> 
> This fixes backwards locking in the function __csio_unreg_rnode to properly
> lock before the call to the function csio_unreg_rnode and not unlock with
> spin_unlock_irq as this would not allow the proper protection for concurrent
> access on the shared csio_hw structure pointer hw. In addition switch the
> locking after the critical region function call to properly unlock instead 
> with
> spin_unlock_irq on the shared structure pointer.
