Subject: sparc64: Take ctx_alloc_lock properly in hugetlb_setup().

From: "David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net>

[ Upstream commit 9ea46abe22550e3366ff7cee2f8391b35b12f730 ]

On cheetahplus chips we take the ctx_alloc_lock in order to
modify the TLB lookup parameters for the indexed TLBs, which
are stored in the context register.

This is called with interrupts disabled, however ctx_alloc_lock
is an IRQ safe lock, therefore we must take acquire/release it
properly with spin_{lock,unlock}_irq().
