[PATCH] powerpc/eeh_cache: Fix a possible debugfs deadlock

Lockdep complains that a possible deadlock below in
eeh_addr_cache_show() because it is acquiring a lock with IRQ enabled,
but eeh_addr_cache_insert_dev() needs to acquire the same lock with IRQ
disabled. Let's just make eeh_addr_cache_show() acquire the lock with
IRQ disabled as well.

   lock(&pci_io_addr_cache_root.piar_lock);
                                local_irq_disable();
                                lock(&tp->lock);
                                lock(&pci_io_addr_cache_root.piar_lock);
   <Interrupt>
     lock(&tp->lock);
