Also note that xfer_lock could be removed and replaced with a just
irq_enable/disable() calls in tegra_i2c_xfer_msg() because we only care
about IRQ not firing during of the preparation process.

It also looks like tegra_i2c_[un]nmask_irq isn't really needed and all
IRQ's could be simply unmasked during the driver's probe, in that case
it may worth to add a kind of "in-progress" flag to catch erroneous
interrupts.
