When I did this patch back in 2008, both netconsole and netdump
were supported.  Spin_lock w/o irqsave and irqrestore would cause
netdump hang due to the unexpected change of the irq status.
Although netdump is now obsolete, I think it's always a good practice
to preserve caller's irq status as we had a very bad experience
chasing a similar problem caused by such a irq change in RDS
in the not too long ago past.
