Lars-Peter Clausen 1b9dc91e41 iio: events: Make iio_push_event() IRQ context save ...

Currently it is not save to call iio_push_event() from hard IRQ context since
the IIO event code uses spin_lock()/spin_unlock() and it is not save to mix
calls to spin_lock()/spin_unlock() from different contexts on the same lock.
E.g. if the lock is being held in iio_event_chrdev_read() and an interrupts
kicks in and the interrupt handler calls iio_push_event() we end uo with a
deadlock.

This patch updates iio_push_event() to use spin_lock_irqsave()/
spin_unlock_irqstrestore(), since it can be called from both IRQ and non-IRQ
context. All other other users of the lock, which are always run in non-IRQ
context, are updated to spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq().
