[PATCH] ARM: SAMSUNG: Use spin_lock_{irqsave, irqrestore} in clk_set_rate

The spinlock clocks_lock can be held during ISR, hence it is not safe to
hold that lock with disabling interrupts.
It fixes following potential deadlock.
=========================================================
[ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ]
3.6.0-rc4+ #2 Not tainted
---------------------------------------------------------
swapper/0/1 just changed the state of lock:
(&(&host->lock)->rlock){-.....}, at: [<c027fb0d>] sdhci_irq+0x15/0x564
but this lock took another, HARDIRQ-unsafe lock in the past:
(clocks_lock){+.+...}
and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(clocks_lock);
local_irq_disable();
lock(&(&host->lock)->rlock);
lock(clocks_lock);
<Interrupt>
lock(&(&host->lock)->rlock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
