&dev->event_lock is HARDIRQ-safe, so interrupts have to be disabled
while grabbing &fasync_struct.fa_lock, otherwise we invert the lock
hierarchy. However, since kill_fasync which calls kill_fasync_rcu is
an exported symbol, it may not necessarily be called with interrupts
disabled.
As kill_fasync_rcu may be called with interrupts disabled (for
example, in the call chain above), we replace calls to
read_lock/read_unlock on &fasync_struct.fa_lock in kill_fasync_rcu
with read_lock_irqsave/read_unlock_irqrestore.
