[PATCH] drivers/char/pcmcia/synclink_cs.c: BKL pushdown?

[lenrek]

I found the counterpart of function mgslpc_wait_until_sent
in drivers/char/synclinkmp.c (wait_until_sent) is modified to
issue (un)lock_kernel.  This patch does the same modification.

However, I'm afraid similar modifications are necessary further on  
functions
mgslpc_ioctl and mgslpc_write_room.
