mISDN: hfcpci: Fix potential deadlock on &hc->lock

[ Upstream commit 56c6be35fcbed54279df0a2c9e60480a61841d6f ]

As &hc->lock is acquired by both timer _hfcpci_softirq() and hardirq
hfcpci_int(), the timer should disable irq before lock acquisition
otherwise deadlock could happen if the timmer is preemtped by the hadr irq.

Possible deadlock scenario:
hfcpci_softirq() (timer)
    -> _hfcpci_softirq()
    -> spin_lock(&hc->lock);
        <irq interruption>
        -> hfcpci_int()
        -> spin_lock(&hc->lock); (deadlock here)

This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am developing
for irq-related deadlock.

The tentative patch fixes the potential deadlock by spin_lock_irq()
in timer.
