Helge Deller e82a3b7512 parisc: ensure broadcast tlb purge runs single threaded
The TLB flushing functions on hppa, which causes PxTLB broadcasts on the system
bus, needs to be protected by irq-safe spinlocks to avoid irq handlers to deadlock
the kernel. The deadlocks only happened during I/O intensive loads and triggered
pretty seldom, which is why this bug went so long unnoticed.

[edited to use spin_lock_irqsave on UP as well since we'd been locking there
 all this time anyway, --kyle]
