From: Paul Mackerras <pau...@samba.org> Lockdep reported that there is a potential for deadlock because vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock is not irq-safe, and is sometimes taken inside the rq_lock (run-queue lock) in the scheduler, which is taken within interrupts. The lockdep splat looks like:

This fixes the problem by making tbacct_lock be irq-safe.
