firewire: remove global lock around address handlers, convert to RCU
Upper-layer handlers for inbound requests were called with a spinlock held by firewire-core. Calling into upper layers with a lower layer lock held is generally a bad idea. What's more, since commit ea102d0ec475 "firewire: core: convert AR-req handler lock from _irqsave to _bh", a caller of fw_send_request() i.e. initiator of outbound request could no longer do that while having interrupts disabled, if the local node was addressed by that request. In order to make all this more flexible, convert the management of address ranges and handlers from a global lock around readers and writers to RCU (and a remaining global lock for writers). As a minor side effect, handling of inbound requests at different cards and of local requests is now no longer serialized. (There is still per-card serialization of remote requests since firewire-ohci uses a single DMA tasklet for inbound request events.) In other words, address handlers are now called in an RCU read-side critical section instead of from within a spin_lock_bh serialized section. (Changelog rewritten by Stefan R.)
