[PATCH v1 05/20] ARC: rwlock: disable interrupts in !LLSC variant

[Noam Camus]

From: Noam Camus <noamc@xxxxxxxxxx>

If we hold rw->lock_mutex and interrupt occures we may
end up spinning on it for ever during softirq.

Below you may see an example for interrupt we get while
nl_table_lock is holding its rw->lock_mutex and we spinned
on it for ever.

The concept for the fix was taken from SPARC.
