scsi: lpfc: Fix hard lockup when reading the rx_monitor from debugfs

Vulnerability Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: lpfc: Fix hard lockup when reading the rx_monitor from debugfs During I/O and simultaneous cat of /sys/kernel/debug/lpfc/fnX/rx_monitor, a hard lockup similar to the call trace below may occur. The spin_lock_bh in lpfc_rx_monitor_report is not protecting from timer interrupts as expected, so change the strength of the spin lock to _irq. Kernel panic - not syncing: Hard LOCKUP CPU: 3 PID: 110402 Comm: cat Kdump: loaded exception RIP: native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+91 [IRQ stack] native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath at ffffffffb814e30b _raw_spin_lock at ffffffffb89a667a lpfc_rx_monitor_record at ffffffffc0a73a36 [lpfc] lpfc_cmf_timer at ffffffffc0abbc67 [lpfc] __hrtimer_run_queues at ffffffffb8184250 hrtimer_interrupt at ffffffffb8184ab0 smp_apic_timer_interrupt at ffffffffb8a026ba apic_timer_interrupt at ffffffffb8a01c4f [End of IRQ stack] apic_timer_interrupt at ffffffffb8a01c4f lpfc_rx_monitor_report at ffffffffc0a73c80 [lpfc] lpfc_rx_monitor_read at ffffffffc0addde1 [lpfc] full_proxy_read at ffffffffb83e7fc3 vfs_read at ffffffffb833fe71 ksys_read at ffffffffb83402af do_syscall_64 at ffffffffb800430b entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe at ffffffffb8a000ad
