rwsem generic spinlock: use IRQ save/restore spinlocks
rwsems can be used with IRQs disabled, particularily in early boot
before IRQs are enabled.  Currently the spin_unlock_irq() usage in the
slow-patch will unconditionally enable interrupts and cause problems
since interrupts are not yet initialized or enabled.

This patch uses save/restore versions of IRQ spinlocks in the slowpath
to ensure interrupts are not unintentionally disabled.
