[PATCH 1/2] xen: privcmd: Switch from mutex to spinlock for irqfds

[Viresh Kumar]

irqfd_wakeup() gets EPOLLHUP, when it is called by
eventfd_release() by way of wake_up_poll(&ctx->wqh, EPOLLHUP), which
gets called under spin_lock_irqsave(). We can't use a mutex here as it
will lead to a deadlock.

Fix it by switching over to a spin lock.
