[ Upstream commit 2f488f698fda820f8e6fa0407630154eceb145d6 ]

There is an existing lock hierarchy of
&dev->event_lock --> &fasync_struct.fa_lock --> &f->f_owner.lock
from the following call chain:

  input_inject_event():
    spin_lock_irqsave(&dev->event_lock,...);
    input_handle_event():
      input_pass_values():
        input_to_handler():
          evdev_events():
            evdev_pass_values():
              spin_lock(&client->buffer_lock);
              __pass_event():
                kill_fasync():
                  kill_fasync_rcu():
                    read_lock(&fa->fa_lock);
                    send_sigio():
                      read_lock_irqsave(&fown->lock,...);

&dev->event_lock is HARDIRQ-safe, so interrupts have to be disabled
while grabbing &fasync_struct.fa_lock, otherwise we invert the lock
hierarchy. However, since kill_fasync which calls kill_fasync_rcu is
an exported symbol, it may not necessarily be called with interrupts
disabled.

As kill_fasync_rcu may be called with interrupts disabled (for
example, in the call chain above), we replace calls to
read_lock/read_unlock on &fasync_struct.fa_lock in kill_fasync_rcu
with read_lock_irqsave/read_unlock_irqrestore.
