Enter/leavel IPS and LPS are large critical section, and they can't use
sleep function because running in atomic-context, which own a spin_lock.
In commit ba9f93f82a ("rtlwifi: Fix enter/exit power_save"), it moves
LPS functions to thread-context, so this commit can simply change LPS's
spin lock to mutex.
Considering IPS functions, rtl_ips_nic_on() may be called by TX tasklet
(softirq-context) that check whether packet is auth frame. Fortunately,
current mac80211 will ask driver to leave IPS using op_config with
changed flag IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE, before issuing auth frame, so
IPS functions can run in thread-context and use mutex to protect critical
section, too.
Also, this commit removes some useless spin locks.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
