Subject: [PATCH v3] bus: mhi: host: Disable preemption while processing data events

If data processing of an event is scheduled out because core
is busy handling multiple irqs, this can starve the processing
of MHI M0 state change event on another core. Fix this issue by
disabling irq on the core processing data events.

I'm counting on Jeff's review for this patch.

Reverse X-Mas tree order please. Move this definition to the last.

This comment should be placed above spin_lock_irqsave().

The comment "process all pending events" can be moved here.
