ide: replace the global ide_lock spinlock by per-hwgroup spinlocks (v2)
Now that (almost) all host drivers have been fixed not to abuse ide_lock and core code usage of ide_lock has been sanitized we may safely replace ide_lock by per-hwgroup locks. This patch is partially based on earlier patch from Ravikiran G Thirumalai. While at it: - don't use deprecated HWIF() and HWGROUP() macros - update locking documentation in ide.h v2: Add missing spin_lock_init(&hwgroup->lock). (Noticed by Elias Oltmanns) Cc: Vaibhav V.
