[Bug 519436] Re: [Karmic] fnctl: f_modown should call write_lock_irqsave/restore

[Stefan Bader]

For this, there won't be a way to verify this as it was a change from
upstream we took without seeing any cases of fault. Though the change
from using spinlock disabling and re-enabling irqs to saving the current
state, disabling them and restoring the previous state can be considered
safe(er).
