Hisashi Hifumi 894cdde26b [S390] do local_irq_restore while spinning in spin_lock_irqsave.
In s390's spin_lock_irqsave, interrupts remain disabled while
spinning. In other architectures like x86 and powerpc, interrupts are
re-enabled while spinning if IRQ is not masked before spin_lock_irqsave
is called.

The following patch re-enables interrupts through local_irq_restore
while spinning for a lock acquisition.
This can improve system response.
