[PATCH] mm: Use spin_lock_irqsave in __set_page_dirty_nobuffers

[PATCH] mm: Use spin_lock_irqsave in __set_page_dirty_nobuffers

[Andy Grover]

RDS is calling set_page_dirty from interrupt context, which
ends up calling this function. Using irqsave ensures irqs
are not re-enabled by this function.
