Subject: [PATCH] Fix pca953x set_type 'scheduling while atomic' bug

Bill Gatliff reported the following bug when using the irq_chip
facility of the pca953x driver on a PPC platform:

BUG: scheduling while atomic: insmod/1530/0x00000002

He traced it back to an i2c transaction in pca953x_irq_set_type(),
which can be called with interrupt disabled (from __setup_irq()). As
the i2c controller can sleep while sending a message, this qualifies
as a bad idea.

This patch moves the i2c transaction to pca953x_irq_bus_sync_unlock(),
where it is actually safe to send an i2c message.
