As &qedi_percpu->p_work_lock is acquired by hard irq qedi_msix_handler(),
other acquisition of the same lock under process context should disable
irq, otherwise deadlock could happen if the irq preempt the execution
while the lock is held in process context on the same CPU.

qedi_cpu_offline() is one such function acquires the lock on process
context.

[Deadlock Scenario]
qedi_cpu_offline()
    ->spin_lock(&p->p_work_lock)
        <irq>
        ->qedi_msix_handler()
        ->edi_process_completions()
        ->spin_lock_irqsave(&p->p_work_lock, flags); (deadlock here)

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

The tentative patch fix the potential deadlock by spin_lock_irqsave()
under process context.

Applied to 6.5/scsi-fixes, thanks!
