Fix the locking scheme on the fec_mpc52xx driver. This device can receive IRQs from three sources; the FEC itself, the tx DMA, and the rx DMA. Mutual exclusion was handled by taking a spin_lock() in the critical regions, but because the handlers are run with IRQs enabled, spin_lock() is insufficient and the driver can end up interrupting a critical region anyway from another IRQ. Asier Llano discovered that this occurs when an error IRQ is raised in the middle of handling rx irqs which resulted in an sk_buff memory leak. In addition, locking is spotty at best in the driver and inspection revealed quite a few places with insufficient locking. This patch is based on Asier's initial work, but reworks a number of things so that locks are held for as short a time as possible, so that spin_lock_irqsave() is used everywhere, and so the locks are dropped when calling into the network stack (because the lock only protects the hardware interface; not the network stack). Boot tested on a lite5200 with an NFS root. Has not been performance tested.
