IB/mthca: Use IRQ safe locks to protect allocation bitmaps

It is supposed to be OK to call mthca_create_ah() and mthca_destroy_ah()
from any context.  However, for mem-full HCAs, these functions use the
mthca_alloc() and mthca_free() bitmap helpers, and those helpers use
non-IRQ-safe spin_lock() internally.  Lockdep correctly warns that
this could lead to a deadlock.  Fix this by changing mthca_alloc() and
mthca_free() to use spin_lock_irqsave().
