Subject: [PATCH] Xen: Fix warning when hot-unplugging virtual block devices

Subject: [PATCH] Xen: Fix warning when hot-unplugging virtual block devices

WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:136 local_bh_enable+0x3f/0x8a()

del_gendisk needs IRQs enabled, as the code path eventually reaches local_bh_enable.
blk_stop_queue needs them disabled - so do so temporarily.

It shouldn't matter if an interrupt comes in whilst blkif_io_lock is held, as it will block on the lock.  Upon acquisition, it'll realise the device is down and exit cleanly.
